| This information is necessary in order to avoid unnecessary
and non-income generating communication. HyperActive Components will then
construct a marketable list, market the goods, seek potential buyers
for the parts, qualify and credit approve potential buyers, quote on
inquiries, negotiate, sell the parts, and finally collect the money.
The customer then invoices HyperActive Components for the components sold.
Consignment of Excess Inventory
This service has many advantages; it frees up valuable inventory
space and also decreases administration and reduces logistics
for the customer. The customer and HyperActive Components agree on the
price level and structure that will be used. (i.e. does the customer
want to have at least the cost of each components in return.) The
customer then transfers the inventory and ensures that the goods comply
with specific details given by the customer. HyperActive Components will catalog
the parts and construct a marketable list. Marketing and sales will
take place as above. Reporting and reporting needs will be agreed
upon between the customer and HyperActive Components.
Purchase of Excess Inventory
The customer offers HyperActive Components the opportunity to purchase
their inventory speculatively. The customer submits the list to HyperActive Components in order to request an offer. HyperActive Components will evaluate
the list according to the current market and ability to liquidate
the parts. HyperActive Components will present the customer with an offer
based on the goods being of acceptable quality. If the customer accepts
the offer, HyperActive Components will conduct a quality assurance inspection.
The parts are then transferred to HyperActive Components.
Liquidation of Excess
If the customer wishes to sell the excess inventory the fastest
way possible and if HyperActive Components is not interested in purchasing
the goods, HyperActive Components will assist the customer with this transaction.
HyperActive Components will invite potential buyers to bid on the inventory.
HyperActive Components along with the customer will select the most appropriate
bid and complete the transaction. The same quality and information
demands as above are needed.
Excess Order Replacements
In today’s market there are large quantities
of top quality product on the excess market. This product is inventory
which neither the manufacturer nor the authorized distributor assists
it’s customers with. HyperActive Components can offer its customers the ability to seek the replacing
and or supplementing of its regular deliveries. Large sums of money
can be saved using this service. HyperActive Components and the customer
will agree on which components are in question, what quality demands
(i.e. date code restrictions) are to be enforced, as well as what price
advantages are sought in order to make the transaction possible. For
instance: A contract manufacturer looks to save 30% on a select few
components purchase price, components in specific volumes in order
to motivate the transaction. HyperActive Components sources the excess market
for the components at the given target price. HyperActive Components buys
the goods, which are quality assured and delivered.
Vendor
Consolidation/Kitting The customer buys components from 100’s if not 1000’s of
vendors. Often these purchases follow the 80/20 rule. 80% of the purchases
come from 20% of the vendors. This is cost prohibitive, especially from
an administrative perspective. Due to HyperActive Components’s independence,
we can buy from and sell to whomever we find suitable. HyperActive Components
offers, with the customer, to evaluate which “low volume vendors” could
be interesting to consolidate under HyperActive Components. HyperActive Components
will then, on the customers behalf, seek and offer the same terms and
conditions, but with the delivery of goods in kits and offer more manageable
billing. Ramp-up Procurement Service
In order for prototype production to start, a Bill of
Material with very low quantities needs to be purchased. This involves
a lot of labor and risk of purchasing too much product. HyperActive Components
can assist with low volume purchases of complete BOM’s, saving
the customer time and money. Through outsourcing of these purchases,
delivery of kits can be arranged and billing will be consolidated.
Experience has also shown that HyperActive Components can offer lower minimum
quantities due to its large vendor base, which gives many purchase
possibilities.
Last Time Buy Service
This is the big dilemma in today’s electronics
manufacturing, where components have shorter and shorter life cycles.
The component manufacturer communicates a Last Time Buy to its customer.
The customer is asked to estimate and purchase the quantity of the
obsolete component, which they believe is needed for the remaining
life of its end product. This is very difficult equation, and involves
investing large sums of money in inventory. The distributor and
the component manufacturer offer little or no assistance. Hyper
Partners offers a service where HyperActive Components will buy this
inventory on behalf of the customer. As LTB’s
often involve significant investments, this service offers the customer
the ability to use its resources in its normal business practice where
it can help generate the expected return. It also frees up valuable
inventory space, and decreases administration. The goods can be
bought from the manufacturer, the distributor or the customer themselves.
The inventory is allocated to the customer, whilst held with HyperActive Components. It will be stored according to the customer’s
and industry standards when it comes to ESD, humidity, temperature,
etc. Deliveries will be scheduled according to the customer’s
needs. The customer will be charged the cost of the delivered goods,
plus handling and finance costs. An added bonus, which HyperActive Components
can offer, is the ability to liquidate this inventory should the
customers need for the goods decrease. HyperActive Components can also
offer to purchase these goods on the gray market in order to hold
costs down.
Quality Testing and Assurance
Today’s component market is focused on
producing goods that will yield the highest return. Little or no attention
is focused on what the end-users needs are. The product lifecycles
are shorter and shorter. The cost of electronics in end goods are
getting higher and higher. If the end-user did not do their Last
Time Buy, or their need increases, it will result in the end-user
being forced to buy the goods on the gray market. This market inherently
comes with certain risks, such as: counterfeit components, refurbished
goods, etc. These are risks that HyperActive Components can help to lower
through its stringent quality assurance and vendor management procedures.
HyperActive Components can also offer to upgrade components, i.e. from
commercial to industrial or from industrial to military temp grades.
The cost of these tests varies according to the complexity of the
component and the quantity tested. Individual quotes are made for
each test needed.
Just in Time Delivery As components are distributed by geography, you will experience price
and availability fluctuations on one and the same component. HyperActive Components
can use this to your/our advantage. HyperActive Components has direct relationships
with many component manufacturers and authorized distributors worldwide.
A large portion of our time is focused on establishing these relationships
in order to better serve our customers. As HyperActive Components can be a
local customer with local offices, we can therefore receive local price
and delivery advantages. As a result, we are able to offer the vendor
new and increased market share. If you have a component that has been
sold to you by the local distributor and you are not satisfied with their
services, HyperActive Components can offer you alternative manufacturers or
seek delivery from another distributor in a different market. |
