Creating Value for Buyers/Engineers when Sourcing Parts Online

         

OEMsecrets is building up one of the largest online databases for electronics professionals to find and buy electronic components from franchised and independent distributors.

OEMsecrets have focussed on creating greater value for buyers and engineers alike.  OEMsecrets have split the search results screen so it displays both the franchised and non-franchised distributors inventory separately. Firstly, no log in/subscription is required to search for parts on OEMsecrets, it's 100% free. There are also no distributors in China listing on the website and all inventory posted is in-stock only in attempt to solve the counterfeit epidemic in the supply chain. There is strictly no "available" stock listed on www.oemsecrets.com

Buyers and engineers now expect a certain level of online service. With live pricing and inventory levels from the industries largest franchised and independent distributors, OEM purchasing professionals can drive down the costs of builds through swiftly locating electronic components on OEMsecrets. Furthermore, after finding the required parts, the buyer then has the capability of searching for the price needed to secure the order. This is made easy though shopping cart facilities on OEMsecrets which send the part directly into the distributors shopping cart ready for order.



OEMsecrets have listened to the thousands of buyers from large OEM's across the globe, and have developed a price comparison website where users can see millions of lines of inventory from all the major distributors with up to date stock levels and pricing. OEMsecrets are still developing the site further so the user will eventually be able to tailor the site to suit their specific requirements. Users will be able to send multiple requests to several distributors with just a few simple clicks. They will also be able to price thousands of items in just a few minutes using the BOM Machine, a tool that enables the user to upload their list of required items: http://www.oemsecrets.com/bommachine.php. The tool then checks the items with the major distributors and returns the results with pricing and stock levels. The user can even price up the whole BOM in one currency, auto-select cheapest quote and submit multiple parts and quantities into the distributors shopping cart for order, saving hours of work.

OEM Secrets spells the end of “Dead End Sourcing"

OEM Secrets spells the end of “Dead End Sourcing”

We have all done it. We search for a part number on a component sourcing website and nothing comes up. 

Infact on a number of occasions, many buyers will re-enter the part number just incase there was a mistake / typo. 

OEM Secrets have created a service behind the service whereby when the dreaded “No Results Found” message comes up, there is now a further option. 

Oem Secrets have been working in partnership with many independent distributors over the last few years that offer a wider database of sourcing capabilities. 

Each distributor has a unique line card. The OEM Secrets team will match any enquiry up with a supplier that specializes in sourcing that particular manufacturer. 

With a simple 6 box form and the click of a button you can be contacted with a quote by a approved supplier from the OEM Secrets team. 

This ensures that all obsolete and hard to find electronic component requirements can now be catered for. 

This is typical of a forward thinking website that is owned and run by individuals that have actually sourced electronic components themselves and know the pit falls and frustrations of a parts search engine returning zero results.

Visit www.oemsecrets.com today to source all of your active, passive, obsolete and electromechanical electronic component requirements.

Hurricane Isaac halts New Orleans military conference, but not anti-counterfeit Group, DAG

What is the number one supply chain problem in our military today? According to Senator Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, fake electronics are making their way into use by "critical" military systems, including Navy helicopters and the Air Force's newest cargo planes. A year- long investigation conducted by the Committee concluded that more than one million suspected counterfeit parts are present in the Department of Defense's supply chain. "The failure of a single electronic part can leave a soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine vulnerable at the worst possible time," the report says.

The final report, published on May 21, 2012, found that independent distributors supply most problem parts and counterfeiters exploit testing vulnerabilities. Moreover, it concluded that industry reporting to the Department of Defense and criminal authorities was not up to expectations, leaving the system with a lack of realistic solutions. Hearing the Senate’s call for solutions, Mr. Todd Kramer, CEO of Secure Components and Mr. Stanley H. Salot Jr., president of the non-profit ECC Corporation formed the USNC/IECQ Distributors Advisory Group (DAG) in June 2012. DAG brings together representatives from distributors, brokers, test labs and other organizations providing parts to the defense avionics and aerospace sectors.

Under the USNC/IECQ, the DAG has developed and is implementing a set of industry-based international distributor certification requirements for counterfeit mitigation and avoidance. This includes accredited certification bodies, assessors and company certifications. Moreover, DAG is creating international consensus programs designed to:

• Demonstrate compliance with the Senate Committee’s directives on counterfeit avoidance, detection, and disposition;
• Provide distributors and their customers the tools necessary to address the $6 billion counterfeit epidemic;
• Certification processes that eliminate industry fraud.

On Thursday, September 6th at 10:00 a.m. EST., the USNC/IECQ DAG will formally announce the programs and procedures at an invitation-only teleconference. For DAG membership information, or to request an invitation to the teleconference, contact Christina Clark at Christina.Clark@ecccorp.org or call: +1.541.847.0211.
