Forecasting in the electronics manufacturing industry is notoriously volatile. Customer demands can fluctuate significantly over a short period of time leaving you with excess and obsolete stock which is often not covered by contract. With some customers you may also be left with the stock for disposal after an E & O rebalancing process. In each of these cases you will be tying up working capital and warehouse space holding unnecessary and often costly stock.

Typically the task of reducing E & O stock consumes a great deal of your procurement teams' time. Partnering with Component Sense removes this drain on your valuable resource as our team will actively market your stock.

Unlike our competitors we do not engage in sourcing activities. Component Sense is fully focused in component resale. In addition to advertising your stock on all the main Broker Forums we use our bespoke interface with internet search engines to ensure that your parts are prominently listed when searched by part number. This dual approach increases the number of internet search hits and maximizes the opportunity to sell your stock.

The Component Sense aim is to partner with you to develop a tailored solution that fits seamlessly into your particular business processes.

Consignment

We work with you to develop a tailored solution that fits seamlessly into your business process.

• Effortless
• Our solutions are designed to remove all of the inconvenience and stress typically associated with excess and obsolete components
• Maximum Return
• We aim to return around 50% of your original cost price however, where your buying power is particularly strong we often return close to your cost price.
• Consignment can provide up to10 times the return of a typical outright sale.
• Locally Stored
• We will store your stock at our cost, in-plant or in a warehouse close to your facility so that your product remains accessible to you.
• It is however preferred to hold the stock in Component Sense premises as components listed as "stock" receive approximately 3-4 times more inquiries than parts listed as "available".

Outright Purchase

• Where cash flow is a concern or where payment is required in order to release the stock we are happy to provide a cash offer when appropriate. We believe we pay the best prices in the industry for job lot buys. Our offers range from 3 - 10% depending on the age and type of stock.
• The cash option will return more cash for less effort than sending lists to many Brokers, who will typically "Cherry Pick" and leave you with all of the "less desirable stock" taking up space in your warehouse your warehouse.
