The eSys Group was a Singapore-based company that mainly produced desktop, laptop and media center computers. Unlike most of the other computer-manufacturing companies in the market, eSys claimed to cater to developing countries and thus have focused their sales on a more budget-oriented target sector of computer customers. As per claims by the company, it manufactured the world's cheapest PC, at only US$199.
History
The eSys Group was founded by an Indian entrepreneur named Vikas Goel in the year 2000. The company started as a distributor of computer hard drives and other peripheral devices. Later, it started its own PC manufacturing business and started making PCs on its own.
At one point of time, eSys had partnered with Seagate Technology for the distribution of Seagate Hard Drive Products in the US, Canada and Latin America. At that time, eSys covered 25 countries in Europe, Asia, Americas and Australia via a network of subsidiaries.[1] The partnership ended in the year 2006 due to a dispute between the two partners.
Assembly Plants
eSys had four PC Assembly plants with combined annual capacity of 3 Million units. These manufacturing plants were located in Singapore, Himachal Pradesh, India, Colombo, Sri Lanka and The Jebel Ali, UAE. eSys had also looked at setting up a Manufacturing Facility in Tashkent, Uzbekistan at one point.
Manufacturing Facility
eSys manufacturing facilities claimed to integrate with its regional supply chain hubs with the goal of lower inventory holding costs and faster time to market. The plants alleged to have a high level of automation in manufacturing processes where Computer chips and software simulate humans to do most of the costly activities. To further cut costs down, eSys also heavily employs the implementation of Linux operating systems which are free instead of typically using Microsoft Windows.
