Since the beginning of 2024, the prosperity of the electronics manufacturing industry has remained downward, and many chip giants have released their latest weak financial reports one after another, and some have even directly lowered their performance forecasts for the new quarter. Practitioners in all aspects of the electronics manufacturing industry are also facing the global growth status of the hovering, Sino-US trade upgrades, geopolitics and its instability in the past 20 years and its rare market environment, especially for production enterprises, but also have to face the impact of multiple unfavorable factors such as uncertain market expectations, declining orders, manufacturing costs, and rising tax costs. Many manufacturing enterprises around the world, especially those in China, have to take open source and reduce expenditure as an important improvement direction in the next few years.
As a representative enterprise in the global electronic components distribution industry, C-MER Technology has launched new services to reduce costs and increase efficiency for the majority of manufacturers through the support of more than 7,000 electronic component supply and marketing networks accumulated in the past 17 years and the self-developed T-BEST™ intelligent system.
Reduce costs and increase efficiency, and open up new market opportunities
In the global electronics manufacturing industry, almost all of the top three brands in each segment have cooperated with C-MER Technology, and among the world's top 100 foundries, C-MER Technology has also obtained more than 80% of the supply qualifications.
In the current economic environment, manufacturing enterprises are generally facing the pressure of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, especially foundries, on the one hand, limited by the mandatory requirements of brand customers for product parts and components, on the other hand, they are facing greater inventory and turnover pressure, and there is an increasingly urgent demand for the same model but lower price of electronic components in stock.
On the supply side of electronic components, there is also a general problem of inventory backlog, with a large number of price inversions, and the price of normal orders is higher than the market price, resulting in the need for source holders to sell inventory to return cash.
With years of accumulated brand reputation, strong supply and demand network and sensitive market sense, C-MER Technology has achieved accurate docking between supply and demand through close cooperation with upstream manufacturers, agents, stockists and some foundries, so as to find high-quality and low-cost sources for factories on the one hand, and a large number of demand sides for electronic component suppliers on the other hand.
According to reports, at present, a large number of customers around the world have reached order cooperation agreements with C-MER Technology, including more than 100 top electronic manufacturing customers alone. At the same time, in the face of the industry boom that still maintains a downward trend, cost reduction orders have become the best choice for many manufacturing manufacturers, and in less than 6 months this year, more than 50 new order cooperation customers have been added, reducing material costs by more than 3 million US dollars for customers, effectively helping enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Quality control + customers, to create a dual advantage of distribution
It is worth mentioning that through years of self-developed T-BEST™ smart system, C-MER Technology has opened a new speed of smart distribution. Even if the customer has high cost requirements, it can efficiently match the high-quality order price with the inverted market opportunity, ensure that the right solution is submitted within 1-2 weeks, and provide customers with a one-stop complete delivery process.
The reason why we are able to provide such efficient services is also due to the extensive customer network and excellent quality control capabilities of C-MER Technology. With 7,000+ order channels built for 10 years, supplemented by the support of reverse inventory of the inventory division factory, C-MER Technology can obtain quotations in a very short period of time, and cooperate with large-scale channel providers with good reputation and quality control capabilities, whether it is a long-term stable order or a short-term order with an inverted price. In addition, C-MER has also established its own laboratory to ensure product quality, strengthen quality control capabilities, and minimize product risks.

The establishment of this dual advantage not only wins the opportunity for C-MER Technology in the fierce market competition, but also provides a strong guarantee for its partners. In the electronic components distribution industry, quality and reputation are the cornerstones of enterprise survival and development. C-MER Technology provides strong support for enterprises through its excellent quality control capabilities and extensive customer network.
Open concept, PPV model to reshape the supply chain
Faced with the dilemma of inventory pressure of large foundries, C-MER Technology has put forward the concept of "open PPV cost reduction", suggesting that enterprises should maintain the strategy of "four openness", abandon the previous idea of worrying about suppliers using information advantages to damage their own interests, and build trust between the two parties by maintaining information transparency, providing enterprises with a new idea of cost control and supply chain management.
First, be open-minded. C-MER encourages customers to keep an open mind and not stick to the cooperation model of traditional authorized suppliers. In the electronic components distribution industry, an open mind means more choices and possibilities, which helps enterprises maintain flexibility and adaptability in the fierce market competition. In fact, many of our North American customers strategically added independent distributors to their supply chain cost reduction systems more than 30 years ago, and they have achieved significant results in reducing costs and increasing efficiency over the years.
The second is that the dosage is open. Many factories are often reluctant to disclose their actual usage when working with suppliers. C-MER advocates open usage, and by sharing real data with suppliers, it can promote more accurate inventory management and cost control.
The third is the opening of the target price. C-MER believes that a good price is achieved through negotiation. When customers disclose their target prices, suppliers will be more motivated to provide the best solution, resulting in a win-win situation.
Fourth, the entry is open. In the traditional cooperation model, factories often unify the products of multiple brands to a single supplier, without going into the price and quality of each component. C-MER Technology proposes that the cooperation should be refined to each component, so that suppliers can provide more accurate and personalized solutions.
At the same time, C-MER also hopes to work with partners to share market opportunities. In the case of price inversion, C-MER will open the information to partners in time and notify them to seize the opportunity; If there is a change in the life cycle of a material part, such as a shutdown, it will also help them make better inventory decisions in a timely manner.
Looking forward to the future, C-MER Technology will continue to focus on finding better alternatives for enterprises that need to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and is committed to continuous innovation and industry leadership to help the electronics manufacturing and electronic component distribution industry achieve more efficient and intelligent development, and open a new era of electronic component distribution.
