Overcome Shortages and Lower Costs with Better Technology, Better Data, and Better Sources

Sourcengine automates sourcing processes and offers traceable sources globally

Consider a couple common situations: Supply is interrupted for a critical part and it causes a down production line; Another part is in short supply, causing the price to rise far above affordability. In both cases, a buyer needs to resolve these and many more supply issues.

The obvious first step is to find a direct replacement or suitable alternatives. The traditional go-to method is cross-referencing the part number to identify potential replacement candidates. There are many cross-reference tools and methods available and most will work to find suitable parts based on parameters which include form, fit, and function. Datasheet analysis will confirm the selection. From there, a buyer needs to reach out to current vendors to locate available inventory, price, and lead-time. If all goes well, the part is found and sourced.

Sourcengine goes far beyond the traditional cross-referencing and sourcing processes. With a simple part number search, Soucengine displays all available parts that match pin-to-pin parameters and it offers a datasheet download. Next, a buyer can sort the list to view active offers from traceable global vendors. It displays all offers with lead-time, date code details, packaging, units available, unit price, price breaks, and quantity selection/add to cart function. All offers to sell come from authorized distributors around the world or factory direct.Every offer represents real inventory that is 100% traceable and genuine.
