WIN SOURCE Online Store (www.win-source.net), an overseas B2B e-commerce platform, focused on electronics manufacturing services (EMS), original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and other customer groups in the electronics industry, has long been aware of the pain points in the procurement process faced by small and medium-sized electronic manufacturing enterprises. For over a decade, Win Source has been on a mission to break the information asymmetry of the procurement process and surpass the traditional service mode of electronic components supply chain.
An excellent TrustPilot rating of 4.6 stars out of a possible 5 tells the story of a company getting it right.
So what are the inherent problems in electrical component supply?
The electronic component industry must support and indeed anticipate the varied needs of the electronic information industry, but the reality is that downstream demand is diverse. For R&D-oriented companies and manufacturing-end SME’s in particular whose procurement needs are mainly focussed on R&D, proofing, trial production and small batch orders, orders are relatively scattered and therefore the companies face high prices and high search costs.
Compounding the effect of this pattern, the upstream original factories are concentrated on large-scale production, limiting the production of components for which there is lesser demand. For many buyers, with goods difficult to identify, particularly refurbished components, one-stop shopping is not a possibility, making the procurement process an almost prohibitive aspect of development.
Founded in 1999, Win Source Online Store (www.win-source.net) was unquestionably established as Asia’s top electrical component supplier by 2012. Win Source had established the easy-to-use one-stop-shop for electrical components that had previously been the missing piece of the jigsaw.
The www.win-source.net B2B e-commerce platform integrates global supply chain data through a one-stop online platform so that customers can solve all their procurement needs in one place. Offering an online inventory of 1 million items across 500,000 lines or SKUs, with 24-hour delivery and a 365-day quality assurance, Win Source is the place to find obsolete and commonly used electronic parts alike.
The key to the company’s success alongside superlative customer service, strong communication with the customer and fast, efficient delivery, is the simplicity of product search available to the customer. Win Source includes a BOM (Bill of Materials) Batch search tool to remove the time-consuming work from sourcing shortage lists. Rather than keying-in part numbers one-by-one, a parts list can be uploaded to reveal stock information for corresponding match lists, including quantities, multiple price breaks, availability or lead time, manufacturer and other important information.
Customers benefit from Win Source’s 23 years of supply chain experience and mature supplier management system honed through a strict supplier approval process. Accessing Win Source provides the much-needed flexible and real-time procurement process that has long been sought after.
Customer reviews highlight that even through the pandemic, Win Source was able to supply hard to source components. This is made possible by Win Source through the integration of varied, as well as the most direct sources of electronic components, from Asia. Additionally, Win Source’s experienced engineers are on hand to help find the right alternative or compatible product, when appropriate or necessary. In turn this enables customers to obtain the lowest procurement cost to grow their business freeing them up to put more energy into the field of technological innovation.
But, in this instance, low cost doesn’t come at a price. Win Source has built its reputation on reliability and implements stringent Quality Management System (QMS) standards. Following the requirements set out by established systems such as IDEA-QMS-909 Win Source has implemented a system which is continuously maintained for effectiveness and process improvements in accordance with the requirements of AS9120B,ISO 9001:2008, ISO13485, ISO28000,ESD-S20.20 and the standards of IDEA-STD-1010-B.
The company’s operations from order entry right through to shipping have been fully ISO certified since 2008 and are annually recertified, whilst operations adhere to precise environmental and humidity controls and ANSI/ESD S20.20 certified processing procedures. Staff are also quality trained at regular intervals and are aware of how their work performance supports the company’s overall quality objectives.
With a focus on the difficulties still faced by many small and medium-sized electronic manufacturing enterprises, Win Source is positioned to supply most electrical component needs. The company is looking forward to becoming an important cog in your business wheel.
