Excess Inventory Relief

CTrends understands that excess components create a drain on your warehouse space and cash flow, so it has developed methods for reducing your unwanted inventory. By liquidating your surplus parts, CTrends can help free your resources and put valuable capital back in your pocket. The process starts with a reverse market analysis report to establish the value of your excess materials. You have a menu of options for eliminating excess inventory and e-waste, including the opportunity to customize a solution that's unique to your company. Let CTrends alleviate the burden of e-waste management so you can focus on your next big development.

Component Data & Optimization

CTrends is the best in the business when it comes to BOM scrubbing. We can improve your component data optimization by assisting your design and component engineers with BOM market analysis. We run reports against extensive market information to determine the risk for each component so your engineers can design in the proper component for the full life cycle of your product. We also search for direct and secondary crosses for each component to allow you to add to the approved component list. Once your product is on the market, we continue to assist with BOM analysis as you need it.

Let the supply chain experts at CTrends help you make sure your Bill of Materials is solid from Day 1 of design until the day your last product leaves your plant.
