Microcontroller in Allocation: Series Launch Secured
A 32-bit microcontroller was under market-wide allocation. We secured the required quantity for an EMS provider's series launch.
The challenge
An EMS provider was unable to obtain sufficient quantities of a widely-used 32-bit microcontroller for a customer project — the part was under market-wide allocation and authorized distributors were quoting unpredictable delivery dates. The end customer's series launch was hanging in the balance.
Our solution
We searched our international network for available stock, verified multiple sources for authenticity (date code, packaging, function), and selected the most reliable supplier. The quantity was delivered in staged batches to preserve cash flow and minimize warehousing.
The result
All 5,000 units were procured in verified quality. The EMS provider was able to start the series launch for its customer on schedule, without waiting for the allocation phase to end.
During allocation, the official channels were a dead end. eolSupply sourced the quantity in verified quality.
