SAA Board members recently toured the Caresoft facilities. See what they had to say:

Joseph Tenbusch-Magna and SAA YPN Lead
Caresoft provides a unique opportunity to compare startup OEMs to legacy OEMs side-by-side to see the differences between their products and manufacturing process while getting your hands on the parts. Their technology and rigor in cataloging the parts are unlike what I have seen with traditional benchmarking services. Definitely a must-visit for anyone in the automotive industry who
wants to see firsthand the product trends in electrified vehicles.

David Petrovski -S&P Global Mobility and SAA President
Having the ability to see an assembly or system broken down to the component level to compare key segment competitors side by side is simply amazing. Lifting parts to feel the weight savings of different materials or different build approaches, you start to experience who is changing or still stuck in carry-over design. It is an experience you want to take with the Caresoft team of experts.

Abey Abraham -Ducker Carlisle and SAA Chairman
I was completely blown away by the team at Caresoft and its impeccable focus on not only tearing down some of the industry’s most essential and iconic vehicles, but also their knowledge, expertise, and ability to decipher complex engineered products to their simplest forms to uncover creative solutions to challenge the status quo and find cost savings.
