Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (176 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1777 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (5797 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Diamond be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
