Most businesses want to get their products to market as soon as possible to help them stay competitive, especially in an era when consumer demand drives innovation. One of the biggest challenges they face in meeting their production goals is managing their manufacturing supply chain, which includes everything from material procurement and design to parts metalworking and assembly.
This is especially true in a world where supply chains are globalized, making it even more vulnerable to threats such as public health alerts, natural disasters, labour disruptions, shifts in geopolitics, economic changes, and ongoing military actions that can potentially interrupt the free flow of goods. These concerns have left many business leaders questioning whether they should continue with the global procurement model or start onshoring their suppliers.
However, there is another alternative that can help businesses future-proof their manufacturing objectives, improve scheduling, optimize efficiencies, and even save on manufacturing costs: using a full-service supplier that can bring the entire supply chain in-house.
Although many metalworking suppliers can provide design and fabrication services, assembly is the critical missing link most suppliers lack the capacity to fulfill. Arrow Off-Road fills that gap.
The Advantages Of Using A Single-Source Supplier For Your Entire Manufacturing Supply Chain
Arrow Off-Road’s single-source manufacturing model is unique because along with our design and metalworking services, we also offer to-spec paint, finishing, and assembly solutions, no matter how big or complex the project is. Customers who access our single-source supply solution reap several significant benefits that save time, build profits, increase competitiveness, and simplify the entire process.
Get Your Products To Market Faster
Transporting your parts and components to an assembly supplier costs time and money, which you can save with Arrow Off Road’s one-stop solution. Our approach optimizes production scheduling, streamlines the overall process, and gets your products to market faster and more efficiently.
Staying competitive in a tightening marketplace has never been more critical. Using our in-house assembly solutions will help you stand out and stay ahead.
Better Cost Management
Traditionally, manufacturers would have to collect quotes from multiple suppliers, making cost management confusing and frustrating. Having the entire supply chain under one roof, including the assembly process, gives you direct insight into all costs, allowing for more precise budgeting for the whole project.
Our estimators work closely with our customers to ensure accurate quotes, helping you meet your cost milestones accurately.
Smoother Collaboration Within The Supply Chain
Fostering a collaborative environment between different suppliers can be challenging, potentially leading to frustration and production delays. With your entire supply chain under one roof, communication is easier, questions are answered faster, and the process runs much more smoothly.
With our assembly engineers already familiar with your project, you’ll get better quality results and less frustration.
Integrated Technology And Increased Transparency
Using our one-stop solution takes away the concern of software compatibility between your metalworking and assembly suppliers. Our advanced software integrates every link in the supply chain, from design to assembly. This reduces the risk of work stoppages along the way.
Our software offers increased visibility, creating a more streamlined and holistic view of the supply chain and supporting strategic decision-making.

Tighter Data Security
Data security for their proprietary projects is a big concern among manufacturers. Working with a single-source supplier means everyone works under the same security protocols and eliminates the need to share your data with multiple suppliers. This is especially true with defence applications, where information security is paramount.
With Arrow, we ensure your sensitive information is kept tightly locked with some of our industry’s most robust security protocols, ensuring that your project is always in safe hands right through to assembly and delivery.
Simplifying The Supply Chain With Our Quality Assembly Services
Our roots in metalworking go back to 1923, when we started following a tradition of embracing change to simplify the manufacturing supply chain to help our customers grow. By accessing our assembly services as part of a design and fabrication project, manufacturers benefit from a simpler process that saves time and money while ensuring the supply chain is strong and resilient.
We’re committed to always making things simpler for our customers through technology, innovation, and forward-thinking – one project at a time.
