Farnell InOne is helping customers cut the time spent sourcing product, with the international rollout of its ProductFind service.
ProductFind has been designed specifically to help customers source those "hard to find" products - quickly and easily.
The industry-leading product search and quote tool will provide fast turn around on requests for quotations (RFQs), helping to reduce the amount of time customers have to spend away from their core job responsibilities when looking for products.
ProductFind is supported by a database which incorporates over 4.3 million products from more than 3000 suppliers.
Currently, this includes the relevant product ranges of Farnell InOne's key suppliers as well as those of Newark InOne, BuckHickman InOne and CPC.
ProductFind will search for a product or list of products, and return a quotation, availability and delivery dates.
Commenting, Matt Toogood, Group Director, Strategic Marketing and Planning, Premier Farnell, says: "We are constantly looking for ways in which to make our customers' lives simpler, anticipating their needs and working proactively to solve them.
ProductFind is another service that will provide significant benefits to our customers by drastically reducing the time they spend on the product sourcing and quotation process.
This, in turn, will have a direct effect on efficiencies throughout OUR customers' businesses, freeing up employees' time and increasing the speed at which goods may be obtained".
Paul Tallentire, Regional Director, Western Europe, Farnell InOne, adds: "ProductFind is a great example of how the InOne family of businesses work together across geographic and business boundaries, to meet customer needs.
If a customer wants a product from a sister company, we can get it straight to them.
Similarly, if a product is not listed amongst the 4.3 million on our database, then we will search non-listed suppliers to procure it for them.
It's all about going that extra mile to make our customers' lives easier".
