Unbelievable Fast Turnaround: 8-Hour Order-to-Print | William Gallacher - CircuitHub

Unbelievable Fast Turnaround: 8-Hour Order-to-Print | William Gallacher - CircuitHub

The history of technological development can be defined by decreasing the time it takes to do something. Amazon changed customer expectations forever by turning speed into part of the product itself. Two-day shipping became one-day shipping, and eventually same-day delivery. Customers weren’t just buying products anymore, they were buying time. In this episode, we sit down with William Gallacher, CEO of CircuitHub, to discuss how they have taken turnover for custom circuit board production and shipping down from 6 weeks to just 3 days, printing the board within 8 hours of the order. From supply chain optimization and logistics to automation and company culture, William explains why no value offering compares to helping customers move faster. When it comes to technology speed compounds. Faster board creation leads to faster testing, faster iteration, and ultimately faster innovation. This conversation breaks down what it really takes to build a manufacturing operation around that philosophy.
