**London:** Siemens Digital Industries Software has acquired Wevolver to enhance its Supplyframe platform, combining their global engineering audiences to support smarter, data-driven design-to-source intelligence and accelerate innovation across electronics and manufacturing sectors.
Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced its plan to acquire Wevolver, a strategic move aimed at expanding its audience reach and enhancing the Supplyframe product portfolio. This acquisition is poised to integrate digital marketing efforts and support innovative campaign programmes, facilitating market engagement and content creation.
Wevolver is set to complement Siemens’ Supplyframe DSI platform, which was acquired by Siemens in 2021. This platform serves as a vital intelligence resource for the electronics industry, harnessing vast amounts of data that reflect design intent, demand, supply, and associated risk factors. By incorporating Wevolver, Siemens aims to extend Supplyframe’s outreach to a broader base of engineers engaged in the design of future products. The combination positions Supplyframe’s global Design-to-Source Intelligence (DSI) network alongside Wevolver’s sizeable and increasing audience of hardware and software engineers—together reaching over 12 million electronic engineering and procurement professionals each month.
Steve Flagg, CEO and founder of Supplyframe, commented, “The future of product development starts with smarter design decisions — and that means meeting engineers where innovation begins. By joining forces with Wevolver, we’re not just expanding our reach; we’re accelerating a new era of design-to-source intelligence that’s collaborative, data-driven and built for the speed of tomorrow’s manufacturing,” as reported by Electronicsmedia.
Wevolver itself hosts a popular platform that attracts millions of engineers through its web and social media channels, offering valuable content and practical resources regarding advancements in technologies such as semiconductors, robotics, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing processes. This platform aims to foster a collaborative community of innovators.
Bram Geenen, CEO of Wevolver, remarked, “Supplyframe and Wevolver both support engineering professionals throughout their research, development, and supply chain journey. Together we bring an even stronger value proposition to the global technology ecosystem and will be the home for the global engineering community.”
Ryan Crouch, VP of Sales at Supplyframe, further elaborated on the acquisition’s significance, stating, “The addition of Wevolver to the Supplyframe portfolio further enhances Supplyframe’s ability to help manufacturers and distributors get the latest technology in front of engineers when they are researching tomorrow’s designs.”
Although the financial specifics of the acquisition were not disclosed, the partnership is expected to strengthen Siemens’ capabilities in providing tailored recommendations for engineering and supply chain decision-makers, utilising contextual AI alongside new sustainability features. For further insights into Supplyframe’s DSI platform, details can be found on their official website.
Siemens Digital Industries Software offers a comprehensive portfolio of software, hardware, and services under the Siemens Xcelerator business platform. This approach aids various organisations in their digital transformation, optimising design, engineering, and manufacturing processes and contributing to the development of sustainable products across multiple industries.
