Benefits of outsourcing. GAICTECH success story

In many cases, companies find themselves needing human resources with highly specific expertise in certain areas, but are unable to find a profile that fully matches their requirements. In other situations, they may find the right candidate, but the time required for onboarding and training represents a significant cost for the company. This is where outsourcing services can become a strong strategic ally.

Based on a subcontracting model, outsourcing addresses specific business needs, for example during peak workloads. It refers to the decision to delegate certain tasks externally and rely on specialised professionals to carry them out. Throughout our experience, we have worked with numerous clients who have requested this type of service. The GAICTECH case is one of them, and it has proven to be a successful outcome for both parties.

Gaictech aimed to improve its workflow and the implementation of new tools in order to reduce design costs and lead times. We addressed this through engineering outsourcing projects, deploying our technical department directly at the client’s facilities.

Following an assessment, it was also decided to implement SOLIDWORKS solutions for both mechanical and electrical design, ensuring seamless integration between both domains.

This resulted in a significant reduction in errors, the elimination of unnecessary costs, and full control over bill of materials management, as well as improved material usage optimisation.

But this type of service brings even more advantages… keep reading to discover some of them:

Outsourcing advantages

• Outsourcing services allow you to optimise costs and, above all, improve the profitability of your production processes.
• It also saves time. Your engineering team, by not having to handle certain tasks that are now managed externally, can focus on higher-value activities where their expertise is truly needed.
• Cost savings. By working with a partner that already has the required resources and infrastructure in place, you achieve high-quality results without investing in heavy technological assets.
• Flexibility in your business model.
• It enables higher productivity. In Gaictech’s case, this was achieved through the automation of parametric design generation (which significantly reduced design times), as well as the parametrisation of two conveyor belt product models using DriveWorks. With this tool, we reduced modelling and drafting time from two weeks to just three days.
• All the above benefits ultimately lead to a broader and arguably most important one: a stronger competitive advantage in the market.

As you can see, outsourcing services can deliver major improvements to your business model and help you reach your strategic objectives. If you have any questions or need advice, feel free to contact us — we will be happy to help you 😊
