Shortage Sourcing

When a part is short, on allocation, or hard to find, we keep looking across suppliers and confirm what can be supplied now, before you commit.

How Shortage Sourcing Works

Send part numbers and quantities. Include the part number, brand, and quantity for each line, plus your target price and delivery location if you have them.

We confirm current availability. We check what can be supplied now, and what the supplier terms are for that line when the part is on allocation.

Receive a quotation. The quotation shows availability, pricing, and lead time for each line, confirmed at the time of enquiry.

Confirm and we arrange the order. Approve the lines you want, and we confirm the order details. Lead time is confirmed per order.

When a Part Is on Allocation

Allocation means the manufacturer limits how much each buyer can take. In that case we confirm what quantity can be supplied now, and we tell you what the limit is for that line before you commit. If the full quantity cannot be supplied at once, we confirm what can be supplied now and what remains open.
