What are the advantages for traders?
1. Procurement of materials in short supply in the market
The demand for electronic materials has doubled, the market is out of stock, the original factory production needs to be arranged, the agent provides the demand to the original factory, and the original factory carries out the production according to the demand, when some electronic materials suddenly increase the market demand and appear out of stock, the original factory or agent delivery cycle will be as long as ten weeks or dozens of weeks.
Under normal circumstances, manufacturing factories cannot wait for a long time to re-produce, so they need to find the spot inventory of traders, even if the spot of shortage materials is more expensive, it cannot delay factory production.
In addition to stockpiling some spot goods, spot traders will also use their own channel resources to find scarce materials for customers. Not limited to brands, not limited to quantity.
2. Sample demand procurement
As mentioned earlier, there will be [uncertain demand] [small number of sample demand, many types] in the factory terminal market, and sample procurement will become a job of "less money and more things"; Many original manufacturers and agents are reluctant to take such orders.
Spot traders can provide customers with (sample procurement) work, less money and more orders, but it has become an important opportunity for traders in the supply chain, and traders who can match orders for customers can basically send samples to customers.
In the case of uncertain demand, find the original factory and agents to get samples, the service and after-sales will be greatly discounted, and the lost market space here can be filled by traders.
3. Account period support
In many cases, the factory terminal cannot pay the supplier's payment on time, and faces the pressure of capital flow;
Traders with flexible capital turnover can achieve longer account period support than the original factory or agents, so as to increase their competitiveness. This can greatly alleviate the pressure on the capital flow of some factory terminals, and the procurement will not often be urged by the supplier to pay, and the other party will have to think of various reasons.
4. Procurement of discontinued materials/obsolete materials
Some old products in the factory have received new orders, and some electronic materials have been discontinued. At this time, you need to find spot traders to purchase, spot traders often have some hoarding, or have the channel resources of factory inventory dull materials, and you can use your own channel resources to find discontinued materials/obsolete materials for customers.
The suspension of production is not about what to do in the future, but more about solving the urgent needs of the current order.
It is also difficult to find 100% replaceable electronic materials for engineering technology, or it takes time to verify the replacement materials.
5. Deal with sluggish inventory for customers
There are always some sluggish electronic materials in the factory, which are brand new and original materials. When the customer cuts the product order or prepares too many materials, it becomes a sluggish material, and it needs to be processed if it is not used for a long time. E-recycling may be more like e-waste clean-up.
At this time, you can cooperate with traders and use the resources of traders to find suitable buyers. And not to sell sluggish materials.
Under normal circumstances, traders will have similar industry customers on hand, and can more accurately find buyers of these materials
