Capabilities

Sourcing and fulfillment

We hold no inventory. Every line is sourced from an authorized distributor or directly from the manufacturer, and delivered to the point of use.

We take title

We buy the goods, we own them, and we sell them to you. We are not an agent or a finder. On award we place our own purchase orders, take ownership of the items, carry the risk of loss as the order's FOB term sets it, and invoice you directly for them.

That means one contract and one party accountable for the delivery — and it is the basis on which we quote as a non-stocking distributor.

How an order runs

  1. 01

    Source

    Every line is matched to an authorized distributor or to the manufacturer. Where the order restricts sources, we source inside that restriction or we tell you we cannot.

  2. 02

    Verify

    We confirm the end-item manufacturer, the country of origin and the packaging and marking the order calls for, before the quote goes out.

  3. 03

    Quote

    One fixed-price response covering the full line list, with part numbers, origin, lead time and FOB terms on the face of it.

  4. 04

    Order

    On award we take title to the goods and place back-to-back purchase orders carrying the same delivery dates, packaging, marking and quality clauses the order placed on us.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Goods ship to the point of use, marked and documented for the receiving activity. We track to delivery, and our invoices match the order line for line.

The packaging, marking and quality clauses we quote to

Who we buy from

Authorized supplier relationships are being established. Suppliers are named here once an agreement is in place, split into distributors and manufacturers, so a buyer can see the channel behind a quote.

What we require

Of every supplier

  • Quick quote turnaround
  • Pricing that holds for the quote period
  • A committed lead time
  • Resale authorization where the buyer requires it
  • Country of origin and manufacturer documentation per line
  • Back-to-back acceptance of the packaging, marking and quality clauses on the order

Before we quote

What we check

  • The item is what the line calls for, by part number or NSN
  • The source is authorized for that manufacturer
  • Country of origin, against the trade rules the order applies
  • Lead time against the delivery date, including freight
  • Packaging, marking and documentation the receiving activity needs

If a line is wrong

A non-conforming line is replaced or credited. Remedies are contracted back-to-back with our supplier, so recovering from them is our job, not yours. The full policy is on the compliance page.
