The space industry is complex and disconnected. Buyers and suppliers are based all around the world and interact via a diverse variety of tools and channels, with little standardization or consistency.
This inefficiency slows down mission design and development, while also increasing costs, as engineers can’t easily assess the market to choose the best capabilities for their needs.
In addition, even when a vendor has been selected, it can often be a long and protracted process to actually get in contact with them and make a purchase, or access the information needed to keep the mission plan moving.
To solve these problems, satsearch has built a platform that brings together engineers and suppliers across the entire space supply chain, in order to accelerate missions and increase performance levels globally.
The satsearch platform is an online marketplace and supply chain discovery engine featuring detailed information about thousands of companies, capabilities, products, services, components, and software tools – at every level of the space value chain.
This information is published openly and is meticulously updated to ensure the most accurate reflection of the true state of the space supply chain today.
Each commercially-available capability has a unique page on the site and these are intuitively categorized and supported with powerful search tools to help users find what they need as simply as possible. They then contact suitable suppliers through satsearch, leveraging a readymade personal contact network across thousands of organizations around the world.
In addition, engineers also submit open requests directly to satsearch’s expert procurement team with a simple online form. The team assesses the market and responds with high quality supplier options and direct contacts, so that procurement conversations can be taken forwards.
Based in the Netherlands, satsearch has been in operation since 2015 and in that time has supported more than 400 mission teams with over 10,000 different procurement projects – tottalling over a $1 billion in value.
Every month thousands of engineers from over 100 countries and based at organizations ranging from the biggest space agencies and defence primes, through to small startups and individual researchers, rely on satsearch to build better space missions; maximizing speed and price-to-performance.
