Global sourcing
Three regional desks work the same request in parallel, so a part that is allocated in one market is still being chased in another.
Supporting the Building Technologies Supply Chain
Building technologies depend on reliable electronics with long operating lives. Access, climate and safety systems often remain installed long after the original components ship, making continuity and lifecycle support critical.

Systems that stay in the building long after the invoice
Tradius supports building automation manufacturers, system integrators, OEMs and EMS providers with global sourcing solutions designed to maintain production continuity and support long product lifecycles.
Requests are worked across the Americas, EMEA and APAC in parallel, and every source is qualified before anything is bought on your behalf.

What puts a building project at risk
Each of these is a reason a request reaches our desk. The route out is different for each.
Component shortages
Allocation on a single part number is enough to hold up an entire build.
Long product lifecycles
Equipment stays in service through several generations of the components inside it.
End-of-life components
The product is still being built long after the component left the catalogue.
Capacity constraints
Wafer and packaging capacity moves on a different clock than programme planning.
Project & production schedule changes
Project dates and line planning rarely move at the same speed.
Global logistics disruptions
A component that exists but cannot move is, on the floor, still a shortage.
Sourcing inside a certified building system
Regulatory knowledge
We understand the importance of reliability, traceability and component consistency within building technology supply chains.
Our sourcing approach supports customers supplying systems where dependable operation, long-term availability and verified component sources are critical.
Lead-time challenges
Building technology products can remain in production and service for many years, creating sourcing challenges when components become constrained, obsolete or discontinued.
Our global sourcing network helps identify verified supply sources when traditional channels cannot support production schedules, maintenance requirements or long product lifecycles.

How we take risk out of the project
Verified supplier identification
Alternative sources are qualified and their documentation checked before anything is bought on your behalf.
Obsolescence & lifecycle support
Obsolete, end-of-life and last-time-buy components located worldwide, with traceability documented before purchase.
Cost optimization
Consolidation, volume leverage and approved alternatives, weighed against what the programme is allowed to change.
Supply chain risk management
Suppliers are qualified, paperwork verified and risk assessed before purchase.
Inventory solutions
Buffer stock and scheduled call-offs built around your line, so a change in volume does not become a shortage.
