Scheduling: Distributors buy and store electronic components. They quickly deliver them when they are needed.
Fewer suppliers: Using a distributor reduces the number of suppliers needed. One distributor can be the supplier for multiple sources of components. This streamlines the production and reduces costs.
Quality standards: Distributors are certified dealers. They only buy from reliable manufacturers. This reduces the risk of counterfeit electronics entering the supply chain.
Experienced staff: Most distributors employ proficient staff. They can help select and procure parts for the right applications. Buyers don’t need to give many instructions or micromanage the process.
