MANAGING BOTTLENECKS

Shortage

Companies striving for success are faced with global competition and increasingly complex delivery structures. Buyers are confronted with constantly growing and changing markets as well as countless variations in products. SAND & SILICON helps you to optimise your procurement and supply chain for electronic components.

MANAGING COST SAVINGS

Cost Saving

Absolute certainty in procurement is just wishful thinking. No strategy, no matter how sophisticated, can shield you from sudden problems. From a damaged machine at the manufacturer’s, interruptions in the supply chain due to natural or man-made disasters, to market changes in allocation; unforeseen events lead to bottlenecks. In the worst-case scenario, production can stop, or a line can be halted. SAND & SILICON has a worldwide network of suppliers. We are independent and, thanks to our structured methods and global procurement options, can quickly analyse availability on the world market and offer you urgently needed components or make recommendations for your next step. Place your trust in us, and we will help you overcome future bottlenecks.

MANAGING EXCESS INVENTORY

Excess

Not enough space in the warehouse? It doesn’t have to be that way! Excess stock reduces your storage capacity and ties up your capital. Make space; we’ll show you the way! SAND & SILICON realistically assesses and quickly “liquefies” your surplus stock. We offer three options to dispose of your excess stock: Purchase, Commission and Brokerage.

Option 1 – Purchase
Purchase of your electronic components in bulk. For this type of capitalization, you collate your surplus items into one overall item. We examine and evaluate the components for sale and take possession of them at a fair price. In no time at all, you can create free storage capacity and have funds available immediately.

Option 2 – Commission agreement
Purchase on commission. SAND & SILICON takes over responsibility for storing your surplus electronic components and frees up storage space for you at once. Immediately after the sale of your goods, we will credit you with the income you have generated. The particulars are specified in a corresponding commission contract.

Option 3 – Brokerage
SAND & SILICON will act as a broker. If you would like to sell your excess inventory, but keep it in-house, we can offer you a brokerage service. The components are stored with you, and we identify potential buyers for you.

MANAGING OBSOLESCENCE

Obsolescense

The supply chains of relevant components need to be monitored particularly closely. That way, critical procurement levels can be avoided, and costs can be minimized. We take over market analysis for you and compare figures to an international data pool. SAND & SILICON is well connected worldwide. This enables us to search the full range of available information, based on your specific needs. We create reliable forecasts for you by using innovative analysis methods. We include comparison types and organize your forecasted total demand for electronic components. On request, SAND & SILICON will take over responsibility for storage and deliver parts on call.
