Value-Added Services & Supply Chain Solutions
More Than Components. Solutions That Keep Your Supply Chain Moving.
When you source electronic components from us, you get more than the parts you need. Our comprehensive portfolio of value-added services and supply chain solutions is designed to reduce costs, streamline procurement, minimize supply-chain risk, and support your unique business requirements.
From sourcing and inventory management to counterfeit mitigation and component kitting, we work alongside you at every stage of the supply chain to improve efficiency, ensure continuity of supply, and help keep your production on schedule.
Sourcing
Reliable Access to the Electronic Components You Need
Our global sourcing capabilities help you secure the components you need, even when supply is constrained or requirements are complex. We facilitate manufacturing and procurement relationships and support key activities including price negotiations, production scheduling, quality assurance, supply chain management, and logistics coordination.
When requested, we can also assist with identifying qualified freight-forwarding solutions to help move your components efficiently from supplier to destination.
End-of-Life (EOL) & Obsolescence Management
Plan Ahead. Protect Your Supply.
Component obsolescence can create significant challenges for product development and ongoing production. Our EOL and obsolescence management services help you identify potential supply risks and develop proactive strategies to maintain continuity.
Through our extensive supplier network and global sourcing capabilities, we can help locate EOL, obsolete, discontinued, and other hard-to-find components. We also support forecast management and materials planning to help you prepare for lifecycle changes before they impact production.
Inventory Management
The Right Components. At the Right Time.
Effective inventory management can reduce carrying costs while ensuring the components you need are available when production requires them. Our flexible inventory and supply programs can be tailored to your demand, production schedules, and business objectives.
Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI)
Let us help manage component inventory based on your consumption and production requirements, helping reduce inventory costs while maintaining supply continuity.
Scheduled Orders
Establish planned deliveries based on your forecast and production schedule, providing greater visibility and predictability across your supply chain.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Delivery
Receive components when you need them to help minimize excess inventory, reduce storage requirements, and support lean manufacturing operations.
Materials Planning
Align component procurement with your production forecasts and demand requirements to improve availability and reduce the risk of shortages.
Counterfeit Component Mitigation
Confidence in Every Component
Counterfeit and unauthorized components can introduce significant quality, reliability, compliance, and financial risks. Our counterfeit mitigation services help provide greater confidence in the authenticity and quality of your components.
Third-Party Testing & Independent Validation
When traceability is limited or additional assurance is required, independent third-party testing and validation can help verify component authenticity and condition.
Our services can help you:
- Support AS6081 and AS6171 compliance requirements
- Obtain unbiased, independent third-party validation
- Verify component authenticity and reduce counterfeit risk
- Meet rigorous quality, compliance, and safety requirements
- Mitigate supply-chain risk through component validation
- Increase confidence in components even when original traceability is unavailable
Trust Your Components—Even When Traceability Is Lost.
Component Kitting
Simplify Procurement. Streamline Assembly.
Component kitting consolidates the parts required for a specific production run, assembly, or project into organized kits, helping simplify procurement and improve manufacturing efficiency.
One PO. One Kit. Less Complexity.
Instead of managing multiple component orders and deliveries, consolidate your requirements into a streamlined kitting solution.
Benefits include:
- Built-In Cost Transparency — Greater visibility into component costs and requirements.
- Faster Builds, Fewer Delays — Ensure required components are available together when production begins.
- Reduced Shortages & Line Stoppages — Help prevent missing components from disrupting assembly.
- Simplified Procurement — Reduce the administrative burden of managing multiple component suppliers and orders.
