WHY ZILEX?

For decades, sourcing heat exchangers has been a slow and complex process, with fragmented workflows, lack of transparency, and a high risk of errors. These challenges make it difficult for professionals to make informed decisions quickly. Here’s what industry professionals struggle with:

the challenge

Multiple
Process

The procurement of a heat exchanger involves multiple parallel processes such as technical specification, supplier inquiry, commercial evaluation, and internal approvals before the final purchase is made.

Process

the challenge

Slow
& Complex

Due to the need for thermodynamic analysis, strength calculations, and careful material selection, sourcing a heat exchanger becomes a slow and complex process requiring technical precision and multiple layers of approval.

& Simplicity

the challenge

Transparancy
Gap

In heat exchanger procurement, transparency is often compromised by unclear design rationales, hidden cost structures, and limited visibility into supplier competencies, complicating the decision-making process.
