Hadrian, an advanced manufacturing company, has announced that it has acquired Datum Source, a management Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform and manufacturing network that improves the way hardware companies purchase parts, manage suppliers, and streamline supply chain operations.
Under Hadrian's quality umbrella, harnessing its automation technology alongside Datum's network of elite manufacturers, Hadrian will both simplify and turbocharge companies' part-sourcing efforts. Hadrian will also integrate its powerful DFM and Quality Automation technology into the Datum software platform.
The acquisition will allow Datum to become a more stable partner by reducing its reliance on frequent venture capital raises. The acquisition will also provide Datum with additional resources to further enhance their software. Together, Hadrian and Datum will deliver the best procurement software and on-demand manufacturing solution.
Datum allows Hadrian to be a key player in the research-and-development phase of the latest cutting-edge aerospace and defense platforms. Leveraging Datum's relationships with more than 100 machine shops that can quickly make small batches of parts often needed for research-and-development projects, Hadrian can more quickly transition these programs into production.
Datum's software is utilized by various hardware companies, including Apex, Saronic, Muon Space, Impulse Space, Radiant Nuclear, H3X Technologies, Source Energy, and Reliable Robotics, for their internal procurement operations. By acquiring Datum, Hadrian can address supply chain challenges further upstream at customers with our software product. Hadrian will maintain the Datum brand for its software product, which will be called Datum Source.
