Integrated Inventory & Logistics
By managing inventory and logistics function, IC Trends can provide more efficient procurement planning and execution, which results in lower time and cost to market.
Excess Inventory Management
In today's highly competitive marketplace, it is vital that every resource a company spends is focused on its most current products and core competencies. Every moment spent elsewhere is counter productive to the bottom line. IC Trends Excess Inventory Management Programs, tailored to meet your corporation's unique goals, needs and objectives provide you the opportunity to increase your operational efficiencies and reduce your expenses thru the outsourcing of your excess inventory disposition activities.
Consignment
The consignment program is simple. The seller ships the inventory (including a spreadsheet with all relevant SKU details) to IC Trends where it's inspected, counted, cataloged and stored prior to sale. IC Trends provides an audited accounting of the inventory to you and performs a fair market assessment of the inventory and assumes responsibility to set pricing based on this data. IC Trends promotes the inventory to the global electronic components marketplace, attracts buyers, assumes the credit risk, packs/ships the product and administers warranty claims. You are provided with Purchase Orders for all product sold and paid on N30-day terms. When you participate in this program, your parts are sold through our global marketplace at competitive market prices, and we split the revenue with you.
Dry Packing
Because we dry pack our product, we lengthen shelf life by reducing the likelihood of moisture damage to components.
Inventory Valuation
Lenders, company managers and their advisors rely on IC Trends independent analysis of inventories as a foundation for lending decisions, acquisition strategies, and effective corporate governance. On a complementary, pre-engagement basis, we counsel our customers about types of valuations, potential liquidation methodologies, and report expectations of third party users.
End-Of-Life Inventory Management
With our extensive network of industry partners, we can discreetly move products to alternate channels- reducing inventories, increasing liquidity, and maximizing the value of obsolete stock.
Device Programming & Testing
IC Trends provides programming and testing capabilities that allow clients to concentrate efforts to core business functions while assuring the highest level of component quality.
Bar Coding
Bar coding allows automated product identification, which reduces cycle time and facilities automated routing. IC Trends supports all industry-standard bar code symbologies and formats.
