  • AFTER YOUR QUESTIONS, IT IS TIME TO JOIN THE IC-APP REVOLUTION

    THE COUNTDOWN TO IC-APP HAS BEGUN First of all, welcome to the energy revolution! Thank you very much for your contact and the interest shown in our former publication. In other words, after your questions, it is time to join the IC-APP Revolution. In our organization, the Integration Coefficient IC guides every step we take. Together, we can build a sustainable and efficient solar business model in your region of influence. Please reach us on WhatsApp at +1 747 400-9687 or follow up by email to tell us more about your company, your needs, and how we can make synergies for your success. After your multiple questions regarding the IC-APP, we're taking the time to delve a little deeper into this launch to answer them. As clearly stated in the email that generated all these inquiries, sharing economy companies like Uber and Airbnb have revolutionized the way we think about traditional business models. They have ushered in a new era of convenience and accessibility for the masses. Similarly, the sale of hybrid and On-Grid solar kits to homeowners, businesses, and industries, as well as other solutions such as power quality, batteries, rectifiers, and LED lighting, which we also offer through our Integration Coefficient IC business model, is also a perfect example of the collaborative economy , which is why we are launching the IC-APP. More specifically, the IC-APP is designed to emulate the functionality of the Uber App, adapted to the energy solutions sector, connecting Solution Users (individuals or businesses seeking energy solutions such as solar systems or power quality equipment) with Solution Providers (local installers or project designers). The application is based on our Integration Coefficient IC business model , which optimizes the energy supply chain by fostering collaboration and reducing costs, as detailed on our website. Our organization emphasizes a "sharing economy" model (citing Uber as an example) and highlights the use of " innovative digital information ecosystems ." The IC-APP reflects this approach by connecting residential, commercial, and industrial users with installers and project designers in an integrated online marketplace. We can summarize the advantages of using the IC-APP in three main points: MATCHING BILATERAL NEEDS: Connecting Solution Users with Solution Providers: The IC-APP is segmented into two main user types: "SOLUTION USERS" and "SOLUTION PROVIDERS," similar to Uber passengers and drivers. Solution Users (individuals/owners, businesses, industries) indicate their solution needs and timelines; Solution Providers (local installers or project designers) use our solutions from renowned international providers for their services. The IC-APP acts as a digital marketplace that connects Solution Users with Solution Providers based on location, interest in the solution (based on a list of innovative and disruptive solutions), and availability. The IC-APP has also been expanded to connect Solution Users with local Solution Providers with inventory, of course, at a certain cost savings for end-users. This also includes improved delivery times, supplier filtering (the best, such as your company in your region), a local warranty, as well as discounts for using the IC-APP and promoting it through your comments and referrals. THE ADVANTAGES OF A SHARING ECONOMY: Supply chain optimization, savings distribution: Value is created by optimizing the supply chain environment, not just individual motivation. The Integration Coefficient IC model reduces customer acquisition costs and distributes savings by simplifying distribution and leveraging global suppliers. For example, when installers aggregate demand and can group to meet increased market needs, they access "large and most representative international factories" pricing and unified guarantees even with small quantities of kits or packaged solutions, enabling end customers to realize savings of up to 60% compared to higher prices resulting from current supply chain inefficiencies. And when local suppliers with stock are available for urgent needs, the aforementioned benefits of bilateral needs matching apply. DIFFERENTIATED OFFERING AND VALUE: Accessibility, trust, and clear solutions: Like Uber's convenience and affordability, the IC-APP's value proposition is accessibility and trust. The IC-APP must answer the customer's key questions and needs from the start: who it serves (individuals, businesses, industries), what problems it solves (lack of quality solutions, confusing market information, poor supplier quality, high costs, low return on investment, supply chain complexity, warranty issues, slow sustainability monitoring), and how it solves them (collaborative supply chain through the Integration Coefficient IC business model). Are you interested in joining this revolution? Your company is on our exclusive list of potential clients that could be a perfect match for our IC model and the IC-APP. Don't miss this opportunity.

  • SURGE PROTECTIVE DEVICE SPD

    WHAT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN CHOOSING ONE? Surge Protective Device SPD is a solution designed to protect electrical and electronic critical loads from power surges and voltage spikes. But, it is essential to take into consideration the following aspects when choosing one: Grounding: SPDs will only be as effective as their grounding installation conditions. Older sites or facilities with inadequate wiring and grounding will not benefit from an SPD without the necessary upgrades. Even the best SPD will fail if there is no proper current escape path through the ground. Listing: SPDs must have been independently designed, tested, and certified to the latest editions of IEC 61643-11 and/or UL 1449 Ed. 4. This provides the user of the product with the peace of mind that they will perform safely in the application, and they will also work based on the ratings provided. Both standards have strict tests that are not easy to pass but are essential to ensure that the product is well-designed for safe behavior and effective protection performance. But how can you know? The quality and performance of SPDs are difficult for a customer to assess. The correct functioning can only be verified in suitable laboratories. Apart from the external appearance, only the technical data provided by the manufacturer can serve as a guide. Even more important is a reliable declaration from the manufacturer and the certification and approval regarding the performance of the SPD and the execution of the tests specified in the respective product standard, such as IEC 61643-11 or UL 1449 Ed. 4 mentioned before. Location: In this case, while the ANSI/IEEE C62.41 standard has classified the critical load location environment as Categories, C (service entrance), B (distribution boards), and A (outlets), the IEC standard 62305-4 describes or categorizes critical load locations as Protection Zone Concepts called Lightning Protection Zones (LPZs). LPZs can be divided into two categories: 2 external zones (LPZ 0A, LPZ 0B) and typically two internal zones (LPZ 1, LPZ 2), although more zones can be introduced if required. Coordination of SPDs: For the former two location standards, complete protection is possible when SPDs are installed in a "coordinated" manner. Coordinated SPDs means that several SPDs installed on a structure (from the heavy-duty SPD at the service entrance, C or LPZ0, to the SPD for terminal equipment protection A/B or LPZ2/1) must complement each other so that all transient effects of AC or DC hazardous energy are completely nullified. We want to leave an open discussion: Is there one standard more demanding than another in terms of safety and location? Are you aware of electrical permits or local rules that may avoid using an IEC 61643-11 approved SPD in America or vice versa: UL 1449 used in Eurasia? What do you think about this information related to our business model, Integration Coefficient IC ? The future of Power Quality is empowered by your contact. Thank you in advance for subscribing . Let's explore together how commercializing these types of solutions helps maximize your business impact, providing a clear differential advantage in your market . And please do not forget to comment on the former questions.

  • GALILEO STORY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC VS MISINFORMATION “And it still moves.” One of the most famous phrases attributed to the renowned scientist Galileo Galilei. The “it” in the quote refers to planet Earth. And “still moves” was a striking denial of the notion adopted by the Catholic Church at the time. Galileo Galilei's phrase is a story of the fight for truth against the forces of dogma. In the early 17th century, Galileo, an Italian astronomer and physicist, challenged the widespread belief that the Earth was the center of the universe and that all celestial objects revolved around it. This, at that time, controversial theory contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, which held that the Earth was flat and immobile. Galileo's ideas were seen as a threat to the Church's authority, and he was accused of heresy and put on trial by the Inquisition. The similarities between Galileo's story and current movements against climate change and renewable energy are striking. To this day, some still refuse to accept the evidence shown by scientific research and, instead, cling to outdated beliefs and promote a large misinformation campaign. Just as the Church refused to accept Galileo's evidence, climate change and the benefits of renewable energy sources are still denied despite evidence and research supporting climate change and the need for sustainable energy. The reality is that renewable energies, such as solar, are increasingly cost-competitive against traditional energy sources, and the benefits of investing in clean energy are clear. Not only does it help reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change , but it also creates new jobs and stimulates economic growth and sustainability. This is where the Integration Coefficient IC can play a crucial role in promoting sustainability and combating these movements. By providing a digital communication ecosystem and a unified guarantee, supply chain intelligence, top global providers, and quality assurance , the Integration Coefficient IC helps disseminate accurate information about renewable energy and its benefits and promotes the removal or reduction of the impact of trade barriers imposed by some countries against renewable energy products simply because they cannot compete on price and quality , just as the Church tried to suppress Galileo's findings. The Integration Coefficient IC helps overcome these trade barriers by promoting innovative solutions (like solar kits ), improving the efficiency of supply chains that leverage economies of scale and reduce costs, and making renewable energy solutions more accessible to all. In conclusion, just as Galileo's theories were finally accepted by the Church and the rest of the world today, we must continue to promote and support renewable energy sources to combat climate change and guarantee a sustainable future. The Integration Coefficient IC plays a crucial role in this effort. In our organization, when integrating your needs with our solutions, we create the impact the world needs.

  • VOLTAGE PROTECTORS IC SELECTION GUIDE

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC HELPS YOU TO BE AWARE OF THE BEST AND MAIN FEATURES Voltage protectors are devices designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment, such as refrigeration appliances, from voltage variations that may cause extreme damage. Here is a summary of all the protections and features that the best protector devices should offer as a Voltage Protectors IC Selection Guide : High-energy surge suppressors : These devices protect against spikes, first by absorbing a significant portion of the energy contained in this overvoltage and, second, by diverting to ground the excess energy that exceeds a safe threshold. Please be sure to look for the most technologically up-to-date ones, which use both normal mode (Phase-Neutral) and common mode (Phase-Ground, Neutral-Ground) protections, with the varistor being the most commonly used and trustworthy high-energy surge absorber. Protection against High and Low Voltages: The best protectors also disconnect the critical load protected against voltage increases and decreases according to the safe working regions described by the CBEMA curve, which is a graphic representation that shows the voltage variations that electronic and refrigeration equipment can tolerate without failing. Shoemaker to his shoes: It is important to note that the protector to be chosen must be specially designed for the load to be protected. Refrigeration equipment accepts rapid voltage variations and even in a greater voltage range due to the inertial effect of its compression motor, since it must be avoided that it could be turned off by faster variations that do not affect it. At the same time, electronic loads need protectors with a faster response time and a reduced range of voltage variations. In short, don't believe all-purpose surge protector offers . Microcontroller and SMD-based circuit boards are mandatory. LED Status Indicators: The best voltage and surge protectors for appliances have LED indicators for voltage status and whether or not the connected load is being protected or is in re-connection waiting time mode. Look for ones that offer ALL the visual information you need regarding their operation modes. Delay Time: After disconnecting the load due to an extreme voltage variation, the best surge protectors offer a re-connection delay circuit before reconnecting the load, allowing the voltage to stabilize. Again, stick to your guns. A standby time is not the same for protecting refrigeration loads as it is for protecting electronic loads. Warranties: The warranty offered by your supplier must include the exchange of your unit for a new one for at least one year. However, please note that the warranty is voided if a protector is damaged by the explosion of a varistor by peaks exceeding the typical limits ( 150 to 180 Joules per mode for the best providers ). On-Off Master Switch: Essential to handle electrical connections with maximum safety. Space saving: Look for protectors that, when connected to the electrical outlet, leave any other exposed outlets that the “outlet box” might offer. Let’s Build a Better Future Together .

  • THE POWER OF THE CORRECT QUESTIONS

    BRIGHT AND SUSTAINABLE IC SOLUTIONS FOR THE SOLAR MARKET In business, asking the right questions is the difference between success and stagnation. Some important referents in different fields have commented in this regard: Rob Liano: "The quality of an answer is directly proportional to the quality of the question." W. Edwards Deming: “If you do not know how to ask the right question, you discover nothing.” Thomas J. Watson (IBM CEO for 40 years): “The ability to ask the right question is more than half the battle of finding the (right) answer.” Oprah Winfrey: “Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.” A good story: An airport, faced with long wait times at baggage claim, invested in traditional solutions to speed up the carousels. They concluded that the costs were prohibitive versus the possibility that users felt an improvement, as many claims persisted. However, they found that slowing down passengers before reaching baggage claim provided a more cost-effective and successful solution. This brilliant idea improved the customer experience and generated more revenue by encouraging flow through shops, cafeterias, and restaurants, greatly increasing user satisfaction and the airport's profitability. This is the power of the correct questions. Let’s compare the former story with the market analysis in the solar industry to show how powerful questions lead to brilliant and sustainable solutions and customer satisfaction. In the solar market, the key question was: Why are homeowners still dealing with expensive self-consumption solar installations even though solar power is free? The traditional "commodity" approach to the supply chain offered no clear competitive advantage. The innovative solution was the integration of internationally recognized suppliers into a single project focused on the end customer and environmental sustainability. The Integration Coefficient IC methodology significantly reduced the acquisition costs of end customers through digital ecosystems and collaboration between local installers (as a sharing economy tendency), who accessed volume prices from international providers. In addition, the unified guarantee provided trust and closeness between suppliers and end customers, strengthening the win-win relationship. The ability to ask powerful questions and embrace the Integration Coefficient IC as an innovative approach has led to brilliant and sustainable solutions in different sectors related to the solutions we promote. The key lesson is that customer satisfaction and environmental sustainability should be central goals in business decision-making. Promoting personalized, efficient, and eco-friendly solutions lets us transform challenges into opportunities and move toward a more sustainable and prosperous future. Your trust in subscribing lights up our path. We are ready to integrate solutions that maximize your results. Thank you in advance for choosing us!

  • OEM IC BATTERY PROJECTS

    HOW INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC MODEL DOES HELP TO SOLVE CONFLICTS The demand for batteries , regarding OEM IC battery projects, is constantly increasing, and customers face challenges when trying to obtain different types of technologies from multiple suppliers in various locations: Warranty: Each supplier may have different warranty terms, making it difficult for customers to keep track of them and leading to confusion and disputes in case of claims. Also, if a customer faces a defective product, knowing which supplier is responsible for the problem is difficult and time-consuming. Interaction between several factories: Different suppliers may not know each other when integrating them into the final project. This leads to compatibility and integration issues. Prices: When customers may request a small volume for each battery model or technology in the same purchase order, suppliers charge higher prices per item. This decreases the customer's profit and increases the cost of the project. Trademarks: Permits for use, printing arts for units and packages, design of catalogs and user manuals, labeling of pallets and packing lists, among others. Quality control: Different suppliers are often located in different locations, making it difficult to ensure consistent quality of the entire purchase order. This leads to security issues and other inconveniences that affect customer reputation. Shipping: Several suppliers involved in the same purchase order may have different shipping security reports, making it hard to obtain the necessary transportation permits for international shipments.

  • RAISING THE BAR IN OUR IC BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS

    Companies, in general, are taking a long time to realize that the "comfort" they feel in having power over the consumer within the supply chain , and that they also consider advantageous for their purposes, is turning into a destructive avalanche against their benefits . The world has changed , and we can be in tune with those changes by " Raising the Bar in our IC Business Communications" . We cannot continue using the basic business language that consists of very common words such as Brand, Prices, Models, Certifications, Quality (which matter less and less), MOQ, MOA, Delivery time, Shipping costs, Terms, Stock, and Brochure . Increasingly and much more frequently than they imagine, clients are subjected to the stress of trying to solve their consumption or project needs, based only on numerical, physical, and untouchable aspects , with zero options (take it or leave it), with many warranty problems , shipping or logistics mistakes, and above all, trust . According to Gladly's study, 84% of customers are willing to switch to a competitor after three bad experiences and 17% after just one. That is why it is now imperative to start from the basis that customers need to know more about solutions instead of products themselves , innovations , services, and success references . They need to make suppliers understand that their frustration at their lack of power in an increasingly diversified and competitive market has made them change, almost by push, their buying habits. Now they want the power to choose and enjoy experiences and emotions according to their expectations and interests. That is why companies that do not take the train that leads them to raise the bar regarding an updated language in their communications with their clients, will be devastated by those that now use a new communication language based on processes such as: organizing service protocols in digital or omnichannel marketing strategies, or manufacturing and market processes like our Integration Coefficient IC , among others; optimizing customer service processes, improving waiting times when assigning agents to resolve critical situations and collecting valuable information from customers , which allows offering accurate solutions aimed at satisfying demands and, at the same time, generating feelings, emotions, and happiness . Ready to Transform? The Integration Coefficient IC business model could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. Contact Us today to find out how!

  • YIN AND YANG AND THE IC

    THE MARKETING AND ENGINEERING COMBINATION TEAM MAKES US A LOT TRUSTWORTHY Yin and Yang philosophy is not a question of which is better, but how to incorporate or merge both concepts. Power can be found in both stillness and discomfort, in fire as in sea, between war and peace, and in vigorous defiance as in orderly or disciplined execution. Combining both styles is synergistic and better than any approach or direction taken separately. In the mind of each key member of our team, two characteristics stand out that are normally very difficult to find in the same person: a very rare combination of knowledge, both in engineering and manufacturing, as well as in marketing and sales, which together make us prolific, versatile, and therefore very special. Exactly stated: a powerful and balanced Yin and Yang, and the IC for business. This is the power of our combined engineering and marketing team using our powerful Integration Coefficient IC model. We not only provide clients with up-to-date technical information as commonly standard companies do, but also analyze how the different markets   by region may react to innovative Solar and LED Lighting Energy Saving , Rectifiers and Converters , Power Quality, and Electrical Backup , OEM Battery Projects , among other solutions that may eventually be required. And even more. At a logistical level, we have established important relationships with international transportation companies, that let customers get faster and less expensive air and sea shipments, with documentation unification services and with better assignments of tariff codes, to reduce taxes at the destination. Last but not least, managing so many technologies and products has allowed us to establish a very extensive library of catalogs, technical notes, use and installation manuals, among others. This has made us experts in product management and global market knowledge, through marketing and product feasibility studies to provide solutions to various clients and regions, and even establish new product lines following current trends .

  • FOCUS ON AVOIDING FAILURES

    ANOTHER REASON TO TRUST US WHY TRUST US? BECAUSE WE FOCUS ON AVOIDING FAILURES. As our Value Offer based on the Integration Coefficient IC business model explains, we are always delving into what is happening in world markets, to “adjust” our proposed solutions to the client’s needs. It is the most important step in our process of adding value. This step is what makes a huge Differentiation against competition. Usually, when making the conclusions of any Market Analysis using our innovative Integration Coefficient IC model , which also integrates both, the international suppliers and the supply chain, we find that the Return on Investment for consumers in any product or combination of several of them to built a solution , becomes very long in time, destroying any concept of savings and making investments difficult to justify, and therefore, not attractive at all. Also, when analyzing the supply chain, we usually find it to be very complex and convoluted, with too many actors that provide little value and rather hinder the system by adding costs and disabling both, companies and consumers, to solve one of the most difficult obstacles that seem to have a common denominator in the minds of all the actors, this being the fact, quite paradigmatic, that “everyone agrees” in which the current options “are what they are” and “there is nothing to do”, thus building an endless cycle of setbacks towards a sustainable world . Our organization, with all the information, proposes innovative solutions through what we describe as an Integrated Supply Chain . This translates into a very significant percentage decrease in the acquisition costs of end customers through an innovative use of digital ecosystems, and taking advantage of both globalization and our accumulated experience in marketing and manufacturing. This process has been useful in providing an approach, a natural bridge, with maximum synergy with the market, between these international suppliers and local end customers, setting a kind of Collaborative Economy business tendency . And regarding the factories, they take the information from market analysis, and under our leadership , as factory integrators , we start with the “glamorous” process of how to design a full solution that, until now, has been perceived as a simple commodity, so that it could be successfully marketed in the Integrated Supply Chain that has been proposed. And again, the Integration Coefficient IC is the answer. Then, the factories and we, together, establish an innovative use of digital ecosystems based on a communications mix that promotes the achievement of these solutions at manufacturing prices in Asia by the target segment closest to the consumer: local installers, homebuilders, project designers, EPC, etc ., and all solutions we are proposing have some common denominators: Kits or a full solution package that is easy to buy and handle, affordable, and with attractive packaging to capture the attention of the final consumer. Easily identifiable as a kit: everything the final consumer may need to solve their needs, in the same package. Simple end-user (even and sometimes Do It Yourself oriented) installation instructions through minimum component costs . Therefore, the solution is easy to update through simple procedures (even and sometimes Plug & Play), and looking for solutions “Step by Step” type that allow customers to start installations with a minimum investment and then add more steps soon, simply by adding more sets, kits, or elements without complex installation procedures and within their budget. Integration of several factories , highly recognized worldwide, working together for a complete solution with a Unified Guarantee , since the total solution is generally pre-assembled and fully tested from the factory integration unit in Asia, which works as a whole. Thus, the logistics processes turn out to be very simple when it comes to complying with the guarantees, both locally and internationally. All this through digital communication of a disruptive nature , with messages to create awareness towards sustainability, transmission of the concept of integration in the marketing channel, promotion of innovation, experiences, feelings, and emotions associated with integrated innovative products, creation of the corporate image based on the objectives and strategies, transmission of offers, promotion of events and transmission of news as well as the exaltation of success stories by obtaining references and opinions, all of this showing the “ happiness ” of the users and thus be fed back, as emotional references of satisfaction, to the potential customer generation system. Then, as Bruce Lee said: “I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times”. A man with a unique and proven kick will never be defeated. And this special kick is our Integration Coefficient IC manufacturing and marketing business model .

  • IS THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC MEASURABLE?

    IF SO, HOW IS IT MEASURED OR DETERMINED? In our meetings with clients in our target segment — installers, project designers, and end users — a common question always comes up: “Being a coefficient, is the Integration Coefficient IC measurable? If so, how is it measured or determined?” Great question. First, let’s be clear: the Integration Coefficient IC is not just a decorative ratio. It is the financial and operational health indicator of any solar, power quality, or energy backup project built on supply chain intelligence. It is measurable — but in two complementary dimensions. The IC of Design (Manufacturing & Supply Chain Perspective): At the integrator level, we measure the ratio between: CFPI / CFP, which means (CIF Factory Price Integrated / Conventional CIF Factory Price). IC = CFPI / CFP The closer this value is to 1 (while remaining above it), the higher the level of integration efficiency. Why? Because it means logistics , OEM alignment, kit pre-assembly , and Unified Guarantee are working as a single organism instead of a fragmented chain . As integration improves: - Operational friction decreases. - Sales Volumes increase. - Factory partners become more committed and proactive. - The digital ecosystem becomes stronger. Education plays a key role here. Publishing articles, case studies, blogs, the IC-APP , and technical insights builds authority and trust. The more the market understands the model, the stronger and more scalable the integration becomes. The IC of Result (Client & Installer Perspective): End users measure the IC where it matters most: in their numbers (or in their pockets). If a project moves from paying several times the factory CIF cost in a traditional fragmented chain to much less through integration, that delta is not theory — it is a measurable impact. That shows up as: - Up to 60% cost reduction (or more in markets with monopolies, tariff wars, etc.) - Higher ROI . - Faster implementation. - Increased customer satisfaction . When integration works, clients don’t just save money — they gain clarity, transparency, and confidence. Then something powerful happens as the IC stabilizes near 1: - Sales volumes increase as the concept reaches more people. - Suppliers and supply chain sellers are eager to support the process with enthusiasm. - And customers become advocates because the solutions feel as if they "guessed" exactly what was needed . The Integration Coefficient IC is not a marketing slogan. It is a structural re-engineering of value creation. It integrates what others separate. And it proves itself in data, trust, and long-term sustainability . Connect with us to explore how integration delivers more than equipment — it delivers measurable transformation.

  • DEFINING NEEDS AND WANTS

    FASTER HORSES? A need is something necessary to be able to live and function. A want is a concept that may improve your quality of life, while needs include everything else. However, these terms are more fluid than they appear at first glance. Let's go to the case of environmental sustainability. Do you need it or do you want it? Hard, right? Sustainability is necessary to live and function, so it is a need. But it also improves the quality of your life, so we want it. Henry Ford said, " If we had asked people what they wanted, they would have said: Faster Horses ". Then the topic of defining needs and wants turns into a never-ending tirade. People wanted and needed to move faster from one place to another. So a faster horse satisfied their needs and desires because the idea of a motor vehicle did not exist in their minds. But vehicles emit CO2, causing current pollution. People still need to move faster, but it seems not to be on their minds that they need even more to prevent the global meltdown caused by a world unable to sustain itself environmentally. That makes a significant difference when promoting Renewable Solar Energy to consumers. Since ancient times, business culture has taught us that the client is always right. Although that is true, what is needed now is to change the current commercial attitude of imposing products, avoiding sales based on clients needing us because they are not experts, which is a wrong paradigm. Although the clients know what they want, not necessarily what they need, what must be sought is how to please the clients and make them feel like an important factor in a process that goes beyond their needs or desires to a personal level. In our organization, we do it through our Marketing and Manufacturing process Integration Coefficient IC , which has been powerful in ensuring that solutions to problems that affect sustainable development are not limited solely to policies, strategies, products, and standards established in companies but integrating customers and their direct suppliers by achieving feelings of high satisfaction with the use of our innovative solutions and then inherently promoting Sustainability. Don't you agree? We welcome your feedback. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us for more information.
