360˚of Sensing and Responding
Arrow holds a unique position in the center of the electronics supply chain, connected to suppliers and manufacturers across the globe. In this position, we keep a 360˚ view over what is to come and put that visibility and experience to work for you.
Imagine how powerful your supply chain would be if you removed 80% of the distractions and inefficiencies that currently exist between suppliers and manufacturing sites. We sit in the middle of this complexity and orchestrate the tactical activities on your behalf. Because suppliers and manufacturing sites enjoy less complexity and less tactical management of supply chain activities, the outcome for you is a much healthier, and responsive, supply chain ecosystem.
With built-in mechanisms to help balance supply and demand, manage shortages and excess, and coordinate allocations and rebalancing, your supply chain has never been more in control.
You know the importance of supply chain visibility if you’ve ever asked yourself the question, “Where are my orders?” Our Digital Supply Chain Platform will give you immediate visibility to forecasts, orders, inventory, shipments, invoices, and returns. Enjoy a transparent supply chain, with complete traceability of parts from suppliers into factories, always knowing where parts are, where they’ve come from, and where they are going.
Our visibility is intelligent visibility, giving you tools and insights to understand risks and potential points of failure (powered by SiliconExpert). This also provides the tools to prevent production disturbances and scorecards that monitor your supplier performance. Whether your end users need access to our proprietary web application or your systems need to call an API, we have the capabilities to help you accelerate your own digital supply chain aspirations and investments.
Supply Chain Visibility
Imagine being at least one step ahead of the competition every time. Our solutions help you take proactive steps to always be ready for change, like securing stock, reducing lead times into manufacturing sites, supporting regionalized buffer strategies, managing risk, and always having long-term visibility to demand and supply.
When unforeseen events occur, we can help pivot quickly by rebalancing inventory across regions, assisting you in making the difficult decisions on where to send products, and stepping in to resolve shortages. Through our proprietary capabilities and processes, we enable flexibility and agility through the entire product life
cycle from NPI to volume production to EOL.
Supply Chain Resilience
Your electronics supply chain is complex and may be difficult to manage at times. With a distributed supply chain, often there are inefficiencies and additional costs spread throughout. Supply-Chain-as-a-Service performs a function of aggregation and consolidation, meaning those inefficiencies and costs are surfaced and quickly eliminated which, in turn, also helps the environment. This streamlines your supply chain and puts you into a position of control and leverage, ensuring on-time deliveries are achieved, along with improvements to customer commitments, balance sheet, cash flow, and P&L.
