A computer component manufacturing plant in the US came to us looking for parts from ABB, Siemens, and Schneider Electric. Other suppliers had quoted ten weeks. They wanted to know whether we could find a quicker option.
Long lead times can make planning difficult, particularly when an order includes components from several manufacturers. Our task was straightforward: find the parts they needed and establish how soon we could have them available.
Sourcing Three Brands Within Four Days
/ Johnathan Craddock
Parts Ready For Delivery
We started sourcing the required components. Within four days, they were all in our warehouse and ready to dispatch.
For me, this is the side of sourcing I enjoy. Sometimes the stock is out there; it just takes a bit of searching.
A quoted lead time reflects one supplier’s position, but it doesn’t necessarily show what might be available elsewhere. Taking the search further made a considerable difference for this customer.
The Key Take Aways
When you receive a lengthy quotation, it can be worth exploring another route before building your plans around that wait. Availability varies by supplier, and a new enquiry may uncover an option you hadn’t considered.
Every request brings its own challenges, so we assess each one individually. If you are struggling to track down an automation component, get in touch with our team. We would be happy to look into it and talk you through what we can source.
