Global supplier network
Relationships across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, worked in parallel on the same request rather than one region at a time.
Secure critical components. Keep production moving.
When critical components become difficult to source, Tradius moves quickly. We locate hard-to-find, allocated and obsolete electronic components through our global network, helping protect supply continuity and keep production on schedule.

Six reasons a part stops being available
Component shortages take different forms, and each requires a different sourcing strategy.
Component allocation
Demand exceeds available supply, restricting quantities and extending delivery schedules across the authorized channel.
Extended lead times
Extended manufacturer lead times can leave procurement schedules out of step with production requirements.
Obsolete & end-of-life components
Components reach end-of-life while the products and platforms that depend on them remain in production or service.
Unplanned demand increases
Sudden increases in production demand can create immediate component requirements beyond existing forecasts and supply commitments.
Supplier shortages
Supplier constraints or missed commitments can create critical gaps in the supply needed to maintain production.
Last-time-buy requirements
End-of-life notifications create a limited purchasing window to secure the inventory required for future production and service.
Six reasons the request lands here
Rapid quotation
A request reaches a specialist rather than a queue.
AI-powered sourcing
Market data narrows the field; a specialist decides which of those sources is worth pursuing for your part.
Quality assurance
Part numbers, date codes, origin and documentation are reviewed before anything is bought on your behalf.
Counterfeit risk mitigation
Sources are qualified first, and elevated risk profiles are flagged for additional testing where appropriate.
Dedicated account management
One point of contact who knows the programme, the part history and what you have already tried.
