Reliable worldwide procurement of electronics, components and devices, with vetted suppliers, fair pricing and on-time logistics at global scale for startups and enterprises alike.
Fizon Tech is a hardware sourcing and electronics procurement partner for companies that need reliable components without the risk of dealing with unknown suppliers. We source microcontrollers, sensors, PCBs, displays, power and wireless modules, motors and complete bills of materials from a vetted global supplier network, then verify, consolidate and ship them to your door. Because we also build software and IoT products in-house, we genuinely understand the parts we source and can advise on alternatives, lead times and cost trade-offs.
Whether you are a startup ordering five prototype boards or an enterprise placing a 5,000-unit production run, you get the same diligence: a transparent quote within 24 hours, quality-audited suppliers, pre-shipment inspection to rule out counterfeit parts, and end-to-end logistics including customs clearance across 12+ countries. Send us a component list or BOM and we handle the rest.
We started in Trichy (Tiruchirappalli) in 2022 and now work from Trichy and Dubai, which is why this page keeps returning to India and the UAE. Those are the two corridors we move goods into most often, and the paperwork, duty treatment and realistic transit times are different enough in each that generic sourcing advice is not much use. The same engineers who took the Smart India Hackathon 2022 Grand Finale in the hardware track read your bill of materials.
One thing is worth saying plainly. Sourcing is not just buying. Most of the cost and most of the delay in a hardware project is decided before a purchase order goes out. Choosing a microcontroller that is in allocation, specifying a display nobody stocks in small volume, or missing a certification requirement will cost you more than any unit price you manage to negotiate. We would rather spend an hour on the BOM first. If the product also needs firmware, dashboards or a mobile app around it, our custom software development team works on the same projects, so the hardware and the code are not quoted by strangers to each other.
From single prototypes to bulk enterprise orders, we source, verify and deliver worldwide.
Microcontrollers, sensors, single-board computers, PCBs, displays and full product components sourced from vetted manufacturers, with franchised distribution preferred for branded silicon.
Flexible ordering: whether you need 5 prototype units for R&D or 5,000 units for production, we handle both with the same diligence and the same inspection sheet.
End-to-end shipping from factory to your door, including consolidation of multiple vendors into one shipment, customs clearance, tracking and delivery across 12+ countries.
Every supplier is checked on registration, export history, banking details and sample quality before we place volume with them. Unreliable vendors are dropped rather than managed.
You see landed cost, not a tempting ex-works number. Component price, freight, duties and our margin are agreed in writing before the order is placed.
Warranty claims, returns and re-order files so the second order runs faster than the first. We stay involved for the full lifecycle of your hardware.
A vetted supplier is one we have already bought from, at a comparable volume, and whose failure modes we have seen. Vetting is unglamorous work, and it is where most of the value in procurement sits. Here is what it looks like in practice.
We start with the boring documents: business registration, GST or TRN number, export history, and bank details that match the registered entity rather than a personal account in a third country. That last check alone catches a good share of invoice fraud. For branded silicon from Espressif, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments or Nordic Semiconductor, we prefer a franchised distributor even at a higher unit price, because the paper trail is what protects you if a lot turns out to be re-marked. Where a supplier claims ISO 9001, we ask for the certificate and check it is current. Above a few thousand units, we ask for a video walkthrough of the line and photographs of the reels and date codes before the order is confirmed.
Before a production order we buy 5 to 25 pieces and test them the way your product will use them. For an ESP32-S3 or ESP32-WROOM-32 module that means flashing it, holding the radio at full transmit power and comparing current draw against the datasheet. For sensors such as the BME280, SHT31 or MPU6050 it means checking several units against a reference at two different temperatures, because relabelled parts usually survive a smoke test and fail on accuracy. For bare boards we check layer stack-up, solder mask registration and hole tolerance before a panel is released. Samples cost a little money and save a great deal of it.
Every order gets a pre-shipment inspection: quantity count, reel and date code verification, moisture barrier bag integrity and desiccant condition for moisture-sensitive parts, a visual check for sanded or re-marked ICs and inconsistent laser marking, and functional sampling across the lot. You receive the photographs and the inspection sheet before we release the balance payment to the supplier. The order of those two events is deliberate: money moves after inspection, not before.
Compliance is where a good price turns into a stranded shipment. The rules differ by market and by product, and they usually apply to finished goods rather than to loose components, so the moment your BOM becomes a product the requirements change. We raise this at quoting stage rather than at the port.
You need an Importer Exporter Code from DGFT and an AD Code registered with your bank before a Bill of Entry can be filed in your name. Products on the notified list under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme, which includes many finished IT and AV products, LED lighting, power adapters and lithium batteries, need registration before import. Anything with a radio in it, whether Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or LoRa, needs Equipment Type Approval from the WPC wing; using a pre-approved module instead of a bare chip and a custom antenna saves months here. If you are placing the product on the market yourself, EPR registration with CPCB under the E-Waste Management Rules applies. Lithium cells need a UN38.3 test report and a safety data sheet, and travel as dangerous goods.
Radio equipment needs type approval from the TDRA, and regulated product categories fall under the MoIAT conformity scheme, where a certificate of conformity has to exist before the goods clear. Standard customs duty on most goods is five percent of the CIF value, with VAT at five percent on top. Free zones such as JAFZA, DAFZA and Dubai Silicon Oasis let you hold stock without paying duty until the goods move to the mainland, which is useful if you are re-exporting into the wider GCC or into Africa. We ask early whether the consignee is a mainland entity or a free zone company, because it changes the documents, the duty position and sometimes the supplier's invoice.
Beyond the border, most buyers also want RoHS and REACH declarations, and CE or FCC documentation where the product will travel further. We collect these from the supplier at order stage and hand them to you as a pack, rather than chasing a factory for a certificate six months later.
Most sourcing timelines fail at the freight and clearance stage, not at the factory. We book the mode that suits the weight and the deadline rather than defaulting to whichever is cheapest on paper.
On the India side we prepare the commercial invoice, packing list and HSN classification, file the Bill of Entry through our clearing agent and handle examination if the consignment is pulled. IGST paid at import is creditable if you are GST registered, so it is a cash flow item rather than a sunk cost; basic customs duty varies by classification, and getting the HSN right is worth more than most price negotiations. On the UAE side we work to whichever position matches your entity, mainland or free zone, and keep the certificate of origin and conformity documents with the file.
These are the ranges we plan against. They move with market conditions, so every quote carries a live figure per line item rather than these numbers, but they are honest enough to plan a project around.
We quote the longest line item rather than the average, because a kit is only complete when the last part lands. If one component is holding the whole build, we will say so on day one and offer you the choice between waiting, redesigning or substituting.
For any BOM with long-lead lines on it, we run a stock check across distributors every week and flag a part while there is still time to act, not when the line stops. When a shortage is real you have three options and we will price all of them: buy forward and hold inventory, redesign around a part that is available, or substitute. The open broker market is a last resort and comes with conditions, meaning full lot inspection, X-ray or decapsulation on branded silicon where the value justifies it, and payment only after testing. Plenty of counterfeit stock enters projects at exactly this moment, when a schedule is under pressure and someone finds a part that everyone else says is unavailable.
The same footprint is not the same part. Before we propose an alternate we check the electrical envelope (supply range, drive current, logic levels), the timing and register map for anything the firmware talks to, package and thermal pad, temperature grade, and the certification consequence. Swapping one wireless module for another usually means redoing WPC Equipment Type Approval or TDRA type approval, which can cost more than the parts. Any substitution comes to you as a revised BOM with a note explaining what changed and what the firmware team needs to touch, so nobody discovers it on the assembly line. If the change affects on-device inference or model size, our custom AI engineering team looks at it with us before we recommend anything.
Minimum order quantities are set by how parts are packed and tooled, not by a supplier being difficult. Surface-mount passives in 0402 and 0603 sizes come in reels of five or ten thousand, so buying two hundred costs almost as much as buying a reel once the cut-tape premium is counted. Tape and reel microcontrollers arrive in reels of roughly 490, 1,000 or 2,500 pieces. Module manufacturers generally start negotiating at 100 to 1,000 pieces; below that you are simply buying at distributor price. Custom displays, moulded parts and printed enclosures usually start around 500 to 1,000 units because tooling has to be paid for somehow. Under a few hundred units, our honest advice is often to pay distributor pricing and keep your flexibility rather than commit to a MOQ you may not need.
Volume, packaging format, temperature grade, whether the part comes through franchised distribution or the open market, currency movement, freight mode and duty classification. A price quoted ex-works from Shenzhen and the landed cost in Trichy or Dubai are different numbers once freight, duty, clearance and bank charges are added, and the gap is wide enough that comparing ex-works quotes alone will mislead you. We quote landed cost for that reason.
Every quote breaks out the component price, freight, duties and our margin, agreed in writing before the order is placed. For ongoing programmes we can move to a fixed percentage of order value instead, which suits clients placing repeat orders on a stable BOM. If a supplier gives a volume rebate on your order, it goes into your price rather than ours. Payment is normally staged: a deposit to release the order, the balance after you have seen the inspection report.
A bill of materials in a spreadsheet with manufacturer part numbers, quantity per unit and total build quantity is ideal. If all you have is a schematic, or a description along the lines of an ESP32, a temperature sensor and a small screen, say so and we will build the BOM with you before quoting. Beyond that we need any alternates you already accept or permission to propose them, an honest target landed cost and target date, the destination and consignee entity with its IEC or TRN, whether goods go to a mainland address or a free zone, and any certification requirement you already know about along with the market the product will be sold in.
Supplier identification and negotiation, sample procurement and testing, purchase orders and supplier payments, incoming and pre-shipment inspection, consolidation, freight booking, dangerous goods paperwork for cells, customs documentation and clearance, inland delivery, and warranty or return claims against the supplier afterwards. We hold the supplier relationship, so you are not chasing a factory in a different time zone at eleven at night. Schools and training partners buying kits for an IoT and robotics programme for students get the same treatment, usually with an emphasis on parts that survive being handled by beginners.
Submit your components list, specs and quantity. We assess and confirm feasibility within 24 hours.
We identify vetted suppliers, negotiate pricing and present a transparent quote, per-line lead times and alternates.
All components are inspected before shipping. No counterfeit parts, no surprises when your order arrives.
Door-to-door logistics with real-time tracking and full customs documentation handled by our team.
The four stages above are the short version. In practice an order moves through nine points, and you hear from us at each one.
Teams building connected products often run sourcing alongside other work with us, whether that is LLM training and fine-tuning for a product that has to understand language, or firmware and cloud work on the same device. It is one project team, not three vendors coordinating by email.
We source microcontrollers, sensors, PCBs, displays, power modules, wireless modules, motors and actuators, and complete bills of materials from a vetted global supplier network.
Yes. We handle everything from 5 prototype units for R&D to 5,000+ unit production runs, with the same supplier vetting and quality inspection on every order.
We typically confirm feasibility and return a transparent quote within 24 hours of receiving your component list or bill of materials (BOM).
A bill of materials with manufacturer part numbers, quantity per unit and total build quantity, the delivery destination and consignee entity, and the date you need the kit complete. If you only have a schematic or a rough component list, send that and we will build the BOM with you before quoting.
Every supplier in our network is quality-audited, and all components are inspected before shipping, so you never receive counterfeit or substandard parts.
We tell you in the same week we see it, with three costed options: wait against a revised date, move to an alternate we have checked on electrical, timing and certification grounds, or drop that line. We never substitute quietly, because changing a wireless module can invalidate WPC or TDRA type approval and cost far more than the part itself.
Yes. We manage door-to-door logistics including real-time tracking and full customs documentation across 12+ countries.
Next step: send us the bill of materials, or just a description of what you are building and how many you need. We will come back within 24 hours with feasibility, the risks worth knowing about and a landed-cost quote. Start on the Fizon Tech contact form, or call the Trichy office if it is easier to talk it through.
