Trade Wings provides much more than just a means of smoothing out the peaks and valleys of inventory management. The solutions we create make available at managers’ desktops high-quality, real-time, tightly-focused market intelligence that gives them the power to take advantage of opportunistic buying and selling of semiconductors and other components with a degree of speed, efficiency, and flexibility that far exceeds that of any other procurement management solution currently in existence.
Our experienced brokerage unit is fully integrated into each of our supply chain solutions. When a manager anywhere in the supply chain enters a BOM, Xnet quickly identifies all existing inventory that can help supply the need. Any unfilled items on the BOM are routed to our brokers, who employ Xnet’s global intelligence capabilities to search the global marketplace for the most cost-effective sources of supply. Orders from throughout the supply chain are batched whenever possible to maximize cost savings, and purchases are timed to avoid driving up market prices.
Trade Wings solutions also make possible efficient selling of excess inventories. Notification of over-supplies can be transmitted automatically to the Trade Wings brokerage team and strategically placed in the global marketplace, with sales timed to avoid flooding the market with large overstocks and to maximize selling prices.
Discrete, skilled, highly efficient buying and selling in the open market greatly extends the supply chain’s ability to minimize excess inventories and avoid shortages. Our approach can also earn substantial returns by taking timely advantage of marketplace price point variations.
