Newly launched in South Africa, Farnell InOne is a multichannel distributor of electronic and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products. A national and international operation, the company is dedicated to reducing procurement costs across a range of these electronic and MRO products.
Locally supported by Mantech Electronics and Automation Techniques, the companies say that by having just one contact for a huge range of quality products available ex-stock, from over 1000 suppliers, clients can save time, effort and money.
This single source offers over 150 000 products - available on demand. In addition, Farnell InOne offers a 'ProductFind' service designed to reduce sourcing time and costs. With this service a team of experts dedicated to sourcing hard-to-find 'non-catalogue products' can provide fast quotes from numerous manufacturers.
Products
The product range includes typically: electronic components; connectors and cable; electrical products; test equipment; office and IT products; process control and automation; health, safety and hygiene; and tools and industrial consumables.
Product selection is made easy:
* The catalogue includes over 1000 leading brands with comprehensive indices to help find what is needed quickly.
* The CD catalogue - which is more than an electronic version of the catalogue, has features such as technical attribute search facilities and online stock availability checking, making this an ideal search and select tool.
* And there is www.farnellinone.com that offers features such as technical information, secure online ordering, stock availability check and instant order confirmation.
eProcurement
Within the same company, the requirements of a procurement specialist, maintenance, design or production engineer can be very different - for both product and service. Farnell InOne's aim is to make one's business life easier by ensuring it consistently meets specific product and service needs. Bringing best practice in eProcurement, the company says that it can work with clients to reduce procurement costs and increase the efficiency of their purchasing processes. Whether the client's preferred eProcurement vendor is SAP, Oracle, or Ariba etc, Farnell InOne can work to help with: reducing costs per purchase order; consolidating purchasing processes; eliminating bottlenecks; increasing contract compliance; avoiding time-consuming paper trails; cutting process cycle times and costs; and improving management information etc.
Other information and custom services
Designed to make life easier, Farnell InOne has a flexible service that includes: advanced vendor and stock management services; bill of materials quotes; kitting services and management reporting.
A magazine publication is available that helps keep one ahead of the game, by bringing together a selection of products of relevance to one's job function. It is complemented with useful reference material such as technology articles, application notes, tips, charts and guides.
The Product Watch service gives advanced warning on obsolete, end of line and end or stock items. In addition, the service suggests suitable alternatives for one to consider as replacements or upgrades for the items normally purchased combined with automatic warning of cancellation of back orders and scheduled itineraries.
Apart from free technical support and advice from trained engineers, Farnell InOne very importantly promises quick and efficient delivery, and says that any products that are not available ex-stock in South Africa can be delivered within five days from the United Kingdom.
