Commonly Asked Kitting Questions
It can vary depending on the number of items on your BOM, but typically we respond in 2 business days.
How long does it take to get a quote
You send us all or part of a BOM and we do the rest. Simply tell us when you want it delivered and your done. Many OEM's prefer us to handle everything on specific BOM's, while others have us manage specific commodities like capacitors and resistors, IC's diodes and transistors and so on. It's really up to you. Think of us a your personal assistant, but better, becuase you have an entire company to help, not just one person!
What is Kitting
Obviously you need to use the inventory you already have first. We can accomplish this in various ways, generally most customers either consign it to us, or simply provide these parts to production until you reach MOQ.
What about items currently in your stock
Because we are also a Franchised distributor and carry a vast inventory and are more flexible than other kittiers or CM's. We have the ability to mini reel in most cases and always try to work with you.
Do we have to take standard package quantities
Parts identified as having lead-times concerns are always monitored carefully by us. If it's a standard item we would normally stock ourselves (remember we a stocking distributor also) then we would always maintain a safety stock for you. Non standard items specific to your BOM are usually managed "outside" using blankets or scheduled orders in order to build a buffer for you.
How do you handle items with long lead-times
As an CM, Distributor and Kitting company, we may already have relationships with many of the vendors you currently use. You can request us to use any vendors you have special relationships or arrangements with. Any registrations or special pricing you may be receiving needs to be identified up front and with your approval, we will use those suppliers.
What about my current vendors or registered parts we receive special pricing
Because we are more than a kitting organization, this is an area we really excel. First we monitor your BOM and let you know ahead of time when a part goes end of life. At that point we offer to schedule a life time buy on the product, or can suggest "fit, form, function" equivalents to you. Additionally, through our 18 year of experience, vast market knowledge and global reach, we can supply product not readily available. All from certified and trusted sources. We never come to you with a problem without having a solution. What good does outsourcing do for you, if every time there is a problem, you still have to solve it?
