Benefits Of Working With A Local Electronic Component Distributor
The recent years have been anything but plain sailing for the electronics market in the UK and globally. The difficulties and challenges we have seen range from Covid-19, Brexit, geopolitical risks, increasing costs and supply chain disruptions.
So why choose Icarus Technology?
Improved Quality Control
It is easy to shop on sites such as Alibaba, Amazon, or speak with ‘so called’ manufacturers outside the UK. But how much research have you done apart from look at the £?
Icarus Technology audit all our suppliers to automotive standard VDA6.3 as a minimum. Along with auditing we also only work with a selected number of manufacturers to ensure we know exactly where the products our customers buy are coming from. This reduces turnaround time for quotes as we are not asking 100s of manufacturers for a quote.
Our process also puts your mind at ease knowing you will be receiving RoHS compliant components and not counterfeits, which seem to be common in today’s growing market.
Improved Communication
Partnering with Icarus Technology will also improve and strengthen communication for our customers. Teams, Zoom, Facetime etc will never replace the strong bond of meeting face-to-face with someone for a cuppa and discussing life’s problems and finding out exactly what our customers are looking for. Icarus Technology can takeaway the hassle and trouble of offshoring your supply chain. We deal with the dreaded time differences. Alongside regular updates this communication helps keep our customers at ease.
Expertise
Our team our experts in electronic components, we help our customers by developing an understanding for their specific needs. While keeping up to date with market trends the team will help you pick the correct component for your projects. We have found that this knowledge and technical support is extremely helpful for engineers and designers, whilst also saving them precious time.
End – to – End Solutions
Would you call your overseas distributor a partner or supplier? Working with a distributor overseas who only cares about £, we would assume it is the later.
Overseas distributors take your RFQ, send back their prices and you may never hear from them again. Working with a local distributor closely and giving them visibility of your design gives us the chance to optimise each component, provide feedback for improvements and look at cost saving opportunities. This end-to-end partnership provides our customers with a more proactive approach to their projects and creates better results.
Based in Rochester, Kent, we welcome current or potential customers to visit our office and meet our team to discuss your requirements.
