“Reduced our BOM [cost] by 50%”
It’s been absolutely amazing working with the Sparrows. Their incredibly smart team became our command center on the ground in China. They quickly scouted manufacturers and met with target robot suppliers, and found additional suppliers and products we didn’t even known were available. The Sparrows found opportunities for us to reduce our BOM [cost] by 50% while still maintaining quality, which ultimately could save us hundreds of millions in the long term. - Colin Webb, Avatar Robotics
“Our periscope to the other side of the world”
The Sparrows Group has been an invaluable partner, providing exceptional support with inspection and project management services. Their meticulous attention to detail and outstanding communication set them apart. As a Canada-based company, navigating manufacturing in China often feels like managing from a distance. However, partnering with TSG has bridged that gap seamlessly. They act as our eyes and ears on the ground—like having a periscope to the other side of the world. Their insights have been instrumental in streamlining decision-making, maintaining production schedules, and ensuring top-notch quality. We couldn’t ask for a better partner in our supply chain journey. -Joseph Hofer and Jason Stevens, Forages
