The new Farnell CD catalogue has a string ofnotable benefits that make the browse and search process a verysimple and speedy one, essential for time critical projects.
Ittherefore benefits our supply chain process by providing ourengineers with a quick and efficient ordering tool'.

This is a great example of Farnell working handin hand with another supplier to ensure that the customer getsthe best possible service.
We are already working on the nextstep, whereby our CD catalogue will be part of BAA'smainframe supply chain system as the preferred ordering tool,rather than operating at a local PC level via eachengineer's individual copy.
This will make it even easierfor engineers to place orders from any connected workstation andbenefit from Farnell's high quality services'.
