Purchasing Made Simple

A day in the life of...
The Electronics Purchaser
The job of purchasing electronic components is not an easy one. And the well-documented supply chain disruptions of the past years have not made things any easier. A bewildering array of ever-changing suppliers, under-supply and over-demand, the move towards e-commerce and demands of balancing quick-turnaround projects with long-term forecasting creates a "perfect storm".
Add to this the uncertainties of component obsolscense (EOL) and ever more stringent environmental and sustainability requirements. This is an area where digitilization can produce drastic gains in productivity and free up purchasers to do what they do best.
