In developmentSupplier network

Don't build one American Foxconn. Join 10,000 suppliers acting like one factory.

AIM Access is how independent Texas manufacturers enter the network: publish real capacity and certifications, get qualified once, and receive routed, pre-scoped work instead of chasing RFQs. Your shop stays independent — the network makes it addressable.

Texas capacity is real. It just isn't connected.

The state has seeded a design-to-fabrication cluster with roughly $948 million through the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund, and anchors keep pulling specialized suppliers in. But those investments remain disconnected: buyers can't see who is qualified and free, and shops can't see the demand flowing past them.

  • Capable shops lose work simply because a buyer never found them.
  • Qualification is repeated per customer instead of once per network.
  • Idle machine hours are invisible outside a shop's own scheduling system.
  • Small suppliers can't underwrite the sales motion needed to reach national OEM programs.
How it works
Step 01

Publish your capacity

Processes, tolerances, machine list, certifications, ITAR posture, typical lead times, and current queue depth — entered once, kept current through simple updates or system integration.

Step 02

Get qualified

AIM Quality runs a standard audit — process controls, inspection capability, traceability, and IPC/AS9100/ITAR scope — so buyers can accept your work without their own audit cycle.

Step 03

Receive routed work

UploadBOM matches jobs to your capability and open capacity. Work arrives fully scoped, with AIM handling the buyer relationship, terms, and logistics.

What AIM Access delivers

Capability profile

A structured, machine-readable record of what your shop actually does — not a marketing page.

Network qualification

One audit, accepted across every buyer routing work through the network.

Capacity signaling

Publish open hours and queue depth; get matched to work that fits the gap.

TX-72 readiness

Guidance to meet the corridor's speed and traceability standard for fast-path work.

Tooling & process support

Introductions to complementary shops so multi-stage jobs stay inside the Triangle.

Demand aggregation

Recurring, forecastable volume from AIM's buyer base instead of one-off RFQs.

Roadmap
Phase 1

Directory build-out across DFW electronics production and Austin semiconductor services.

Phase 2

Standardized qualification and TX-72 certification pilots; Houston and San Antonio onboarding.

Phase 3

Live capacity integrations and automated job routing across the full corridor.
