In today's component distribution industry, which is predominantly driven by cost and volume, it has become essential for local distribution companies to differentiate from the crowd by focusing on new, innovative products and by offering unique services and value added solutions. Arrow Altech Distribution (AAD), through its total commitment to continuously improve service levels, offers customers a vast range of world-class value-added services.
Design and engineering
AAD's team of qualified engineers, armed with expert knowledge of the latest products and technology, are always ready and capable to assist with your designs. They are backed by full factory support from our specialist suppliers and can advise on all types of products - semiconductors, wireless, frequency control, passive, electromechanical and connectors. Their contact details, together with each engineer's specialist technologies, can be found on its website at www.arrow.altech.co.za
With access to Arrow's state-of-the-art European Programming Centre in Bedford, England, AAD can offer a full programming service without the need for customers to invest in expensive equipment.
Turnkey and kitting
If your factory is at capacity, or you want to focus on your core competencies of design and the marketing of your products, AAD can help. The company can procure the full bill of materials, assist with engineering for cost reduction, engage the contract manufacturer and deliver the completed product to you or even your end customer. It does this for numerous customers.
Experts in kitting, AAD consolidates all the components necessary for a production run and delivers them simultaneously to the customers' production line or stores. This has many advantages for customers, not least that they only pay once all the components are delivered, thus helping cash flow.
Stocking
Kanban (Automated Replenishment) is operated through Arrow's own CARES (Customer Automated Replenishment System). AAD offers the lean supply of components without the need for customers to hold inventory, whilst at the same time minimising or eliminating shortages.
In terms of buffer stock handling, AAD can tailor its inventory to meet one's needs, holding enough stock to cater for variations in demand for customer's products, thereby offering greater flexibility and faster time-to-market.
The company's expertise lies in managing supply chains and there are many services available that cannot be covered here. Please contact AAD to discuss your specific requirements.
