Our Vision

Our vision is to empower mechanical engineering companies and manufacturers to master the challenges of globalization and digital transformation, fostering a future of seamless, intelligent industrial collaboration.

The Difference We Make

The global engineering landscape is shaped by volatility and rapid change. Engineering companies now need to diversify their channels and adopt precise, digital strategies—reaching buyers worldwide, in real time, exactly when intent is highest. This also means shaping their solutions around manufacturers’ production goals, making customer centricity a strategic driver of value. With AI opening new doors, these approaches are now more targeted and cost-effective than ever.

Manufacturers, meanwhile, are looking for strategic solutions that help them achieve their objectives. This often requires integrating technologies from multiple providers and customizing them to specific needs. In a fast-changing, competitive environment, they need agile, modular, and customer-focused approaches.

What does Actuways do?
Machine Engineering Companies: We turn digital channels into predictable, AI‑driven pipelines — delivering pre‑qualified, account-based leads and converting technical interest into sales-ready opportunities. Manufacturers: We use AI research and expert facilitation to find and validate machine-building partners and integrated solutions that meet your production goals.
How does engagement start?
Machine Engineering Companies: We begin with a concise audit of your digital presence, ICPs, and target accounts, then propose a project plan focused on quick wins and sustainable achievements alike. Manufacturers: We start with a needs assessment (surveys/interviews) to capture production constraints and ROI targets, then shortlist candidate suppliers and propose a workshop plan.
What will I receive (key deliverables)?
Machine Engineering Companies: ABM campaign setup, performance marketing, SEO/LLM optimization, CRO improvements and a measurable reporting dashboard. Manufacturers: AI-driven vendor shortlists, neutral validation reports, a co-innovation workshop, and an actionable implementation roadmap combining the best technologies for customized solutions.
How long until we see results?
Machine Engineering Companies: Quick wins (8 weeks) performance marketing and ABM engagements; sustained pipeline growth over 3 quarters. Manufacturers: Shortlist and validation outputs in 2–4 weeks; actionable workshop outcomes and an implementation roadmap in 6–8 weeks depending on complexity.
How do you measure success?
Machine Engineering Companies: Metrics like MQL→SQL conversion, pipeline value from named accounts, cost per opportunity, deal velocity, SEO and LLM visibilty metrics, social engagement metrics. Manufacturers: Metrics like shortlisted vendor fit, expected ROI, time-to-decision, and improved percentage of technology match as well as implementation speed.
What does pricing look like and how do we engage commercially?
Machine Engineering Companies: We offer pilots and retainer models scoped to outcomes (pipeline targets). Pilots let you validate the quality of our work before you commit to our flexible retainer model. Manufacturers: Projects typically start with a fixed-scope needs assessment + workshop, then move to implementation / advisory retainers priced per scope and deliverables.
Are you vendor- or technology-neutral?
Yes — our validation and comparisons are neutral and focused on ROI, modularity, and integration feasibility.
Can you operate internationally?
Machine Engineering Companies: Yes — Europe-first with multilingual and country-specific campaign strategies for scalable global outreach. Manufacturers: Yes — we identify global suppliers and manage localization of technical requirements and workshop facilitation as needed.
What data and confidentiality safeguards are in place?
Machine Engineering Companies: We operate under NDAs on request, follow best practices for data access. Manufacturers: Sensitive production data is handled under strict confidentiality; we use NDAs and controlled data sharing during assessments and workshops. All data is hosted in Switzerland or Germany in independent data centers.
Is the platform available now?
Machine Engineering Companies: Not yet — it’s coming soon. For now we deliver managed services. Manufacturers: Not yet — workshops and matchmaking are currently delivered by our team; join the waitlist to be prioritized for the platform pilot.
What’s the best next step if I’m interested?
Machine Engineering Companies: Book a short discovery call or request a focused audit to see a road map and goals we are working towards. Manufacturers: Request a needs assessment and supplier discovery brief so we can present an initial shortlist and workshop proposal.
