Procurement Solutions with eComp – Navigating the Obsolete and Legacy Supply Chain

Let’s face it: diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages is an expensive, labor intensive, complex enterprise and you need a partner that can offer more than one procurement resolution. Often it can be difficult to identify a diminishing product with enough time to implement a solution that protects your life-cycle support and viability. For over 16 years, eComp has taken a leadership role as an Independent Distributor and Procurement Solutions Specialist. We are dedicated to helping our customers identify the best methodology for procuring goods and services, obsolete or otherwise. By taking a proactive stance and evaluating more than one approach, eComp can help you determine the best methodology for procurement.

Quality Sourcing Strategy

Quality procurement, for both active and obsolete products, starts with a well vetted supply chain. eComp has a well-defined sourcing strategy that identifies the best suppliers and holds them to a rigorous standard. Our clearly defined terms and conditions, as well as our commitment to quality, ensures that our suppliers are among the best in the industry. Our commitment to quality has led us to pursue multiple certifications and affiliations, some of which are listed below:

BOM Analysis

eComp can also evaluate your bill of materials and help you determine your sourcing options while adhering to your specific project specifications. We can provide feedback on the longevity of the devices or products listed and provide additional guidance in how to approach sourcing items that are end of life, or recently discontinued. eComp also can evaluate your BOM to return information such as conflict minerals analysis, RoHS compliance, and substance analysis. By utilizing our expertise, you can ensure that you are able to make an informed decision regarding your procurement needs and reduce costs with strategic sourcing initiatives.

Component Engineering Services

The number of components required to produce an end product can be daunting. eComp works closely with component engineers to help our customers reduce procurement costs, design time and effectively manage their project resources. Our services represent the ideal solution for OEMs, Contract Manufacturers, Component Distributors and anyone else looking to streamline their project with a partner who offers efficient solutions that help maintain project stability and sustainability.

Part Management/Excess Inventory Management

Whether you are looking to store your inventory for your own use or are looking to consign that inventory with a partner, eComp will use their expertise in the industry to help you make the best possible decision in regards to your excess inventory. We can also post your inventory on industry standard search engines to make sure your consigned inventory reaches the largest market possible.
