Express, the e-Commerce engine for Avnet Electronics Marketing, an

customers to:
- Look into the future.
Customers who use AvnetExpress.com
to manage their supply chains now have the option to see what
inventory is being held on their behalf. Using the "Bonded Inventory"
option on AvnetExpress.com,
customers can now see the entire catalog of readily available
inventory that has been bonded to their account. This option gives
Avnet customers the flexibility to see their entire product inventory,
make adjustments and see their entire supply chain pipeline. In
addition, all orders placed by 8:00 P.M. CST will be shipped same-day.
- Generate custom reports.
AvnetExpress.com users can now
generate customized reports, giving customers the ability to
self-select the data points most important to them. Customers can
choose from a variety of reports that detail every aspect of their
order status. Reports can be customized to reflect: orders shipping
within the next seven days; pending orders; order status; and other
forecasting information. This customized supply chain dashboard can be
accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and gives Avnet customers
a complete snapshot of their supply chain engagements.
"Meeting our customers' evolving needs is, and always will be, a top
priority for us," said Beth Ely, vice president of Avnet Express. "These
Web enhancements help to mitigate supply chain uncertainties by giving
our customers greater access to inventory and increased control over
their own shipments. We've created a customized Web interface where our
customers can be fully engaged in creating a supply chain that works for
them."
