Hard-To-Find, Obsolete Parts:
We are the Experts when it comes to sourcing parts that are no longer in production. Hard-To-Find, Allocated parts, Obsolete, or those going End-Of-Life are not difficult for us. Because we have the tools and relationships to source whatever you need, when you need it. Some of the world-class tools we use that make us really good at what we do include the following:
-
"RIC" - The largest database and search engine of parts available in the Global Open Market.
-
"CATS" - World Micro's Customer Automated Tracking System that tracks historical price and vendor locations worldwide, which enables us to target our search and locate the "Best" vendor solution for your immediate requirements.
-
Certified "Cross" Part Referencing - We pro-actively source "cross solutions" with Global manufacturers. This service is integral in what we do everyday to serve Engineers and Buyers, by becoming their "Trusted Advisor".
-
Our Team consists of "Sourcing Specialists" made up of industry veterans who will exhaust every corner of the globe, and every manufacturer, to solve your needs.

Tier 2 & 3 Supply "Bridges":
Our company focus is to help bridge relationships between Tier 2 & Tier 3 Suppliers and Customers, who often lack the ability to effectively reach each other. We are a "Hybrid" Electronics Sourcing company; we locate cost-effective solutions for our customer's unique product requirements. We are not limited by a linecard that locks us in with vendors who may not be the best solution for your requirements. Most business (80%) is done factory direct; we help you source solutions that enable you to receive the benefit of factory direct relationships and pricing. We become your committed partner to provide all the services necessary to successfully manage your project's procurement, stocking, and distribution, from cradle to grave.

"Customer Centric" Distribution:
The Franchised Distribution (Franchise) model is "supplier centric", which is centered on the supplier's needs and not those of the customer. Why? By getting suppliers to commit a certain percentage of their product through the distribution channel, Franchise is guaranteed a certain rate of return on all products sold. What Franchise brings to customers is a limited linecard of options for their unique needs, and usually the most expensive brand options.
World Micro's approach is unique as a Hybrid Electronics Sourcing Company. Our goal is to serve the customer's complete needs from Design, Prototype, and Production, through End-Of-Life Management. We do this differently than Franchise. We focus on the customer, and their unique needs. We take the time to understand the projects needs, and source suppliers who are the "Best" solution: Form, Fit, Function and Price. Then we tailor our distribution / stocking services to meet the project's unique requirements.

Virtual "In-House" Stores:
What does this mean? Franchised proudly represents "In-House" stores to provide instant access to product. Many OEMs and CMs have adopted this value-added program, but at a hidden cost seldom seen or understood. The goal of many companies is to lock a customer to buy from them. Once locked, many "Back-End" activities take place to maximize profits. The Arrow CEO summarized this activity in a recent interview":
Delivering a Global Arrow: By Ed Sperling -- Electronic News, 11/19/2004
Bill Mitchell, president and CEO of Arrow Electronics
Electronic News: One last question. In the past, Arrow has made a big deal about services, but getting paid for them hasn't been easy. Has anything changed?
Mitchell: We do get paid for services. Sometimes we get a fee, sometimes we get an up-front retainer, and sometimes it's built into the cost of what they buy. And where we get into advanced supply chain engagements, we get a higher margin for services. That's more common in North America, where more than 70 percent of the customers have supply chain engagements.
Are you paying too much? Our "Virtual In-House" stores take advantage of an old fashioned approach to "Stocking Distribution". We actually purchase and stock on our shelves what you need, so that when you need it, it's here. Simple, but very effective!! Call us and let us know how we can reduce your cost and get you what you need when you need it.

Financing Solutions:
Creativity and flexibility are essential when you need to explore ways to fill your electronic requirements. We work with our customers to develop terms that help them manage their purchases and cash flow positions. Creative stocking programs and long-term purchasing strategies accomplish this. Factoring? We may be able to help. Call us and ask how we can work with you to customize a solution for your individual need.
