Today, design engineers are becoming increasingly demanding of distributors.
They require instant sample quantities, quality field application engineer (FAE), support flexible production logistics and competitive pricing.
We explore the wide range of advantages that using distributors provide…
The Distributor Advantage
Design and Technical Support
The best distributors proactively encourage innovation and drive forward thinking. FAE’s use distributors technical expertise to identify new products that fill a niche in a project. The distributor is always at hand to offer technical guidance and support on new designs.
New Design Recommendations
Distributors recommend parts specifically for new designs and are able to give full visibility on real time and projected stock levels, notifying customers of the increasing lead times and high demand for products. Some distributors are also able to help design parts or recommend soon to be released components.
Inventory Support
Distributors will support your inventory levels by offering call-off and scheduled orders to allow continuous product flow and to continue supplying demand. Distributors monitor the customers’ stock levels and advise customers on when stock is running low and needs reordering.
