The efficiency of the iSuppli model will result in billions of dollars being saved by both the consumers and suppliers of electronic components. The impact of iSuppli on the supply chain compares to the impact of the railroad on moving freight. A dedicated, centrally controlled railroad solved the major problems of cost, reliability, availability, and capacity to move goods. Because of iSuppli, the name of the supply chain needs to be changed to the supply network. Exceptions are handled immediately by our experts in each product area, enabling far faster and more effective resolution of supply issues.
Suppliers only have to prepare a single large shipment, rather than many smaller ones.
These large shipments are picked up by iSuppli, and taken to our cross docks where they are broken down into customer-specific orders that are delivered to assembly lines around the world, typically in less than 48 hours. All customers and users linked are in a network. Information and physical fulfillment are joined in a unified manner. Many separate systems, departments, and processes exist. Unprecedented visibility into the entire market.
