ProcurementPro: The practical guide to excess inventory

T hanks to its broad product portfolio, the components supplied by SOS electronic are found in applications such as transport and automotive technologies, medical devices, retail, and agriculture. They are also integral to solutions in smart cities, smart buildings, communication, and security systems. “We started out as a group of electronics enthusiasts with big dreams and a single brick-and-mortar branch. Today, we are part of one of the largest distribution platforms in Europe, with branches in five countries and communication in eight languages. But we’ve never lost our enthusiasm or the friendly relationships that help us build trust with our customers,” said Ján Seszták, Managing Director of SOS electronic. DIGITALISATION AS THE FOUNDATION OF EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION Digitalisation and innovative e-commerce solutions are key elements of SOS electronic’s business model. The company prefers a strategic approach that combines technological advancement with a strong emphasis on personal contact and technical expertise. It deliberately avoids blindly adopting new technologies. “We see technology as a tool, not a goal. That’s why we continue to deliver value to our business partners based on the principles our company was built on. The result is faster decision-making, easier purchasing, and support from a real person when the customer needs it,” explained Seszták. The electronic component market faces significant fluctuations in material availability and pricing. Despite this, SOS electronic has managed to maintain stable supply chains. “Stability is a luxury today. We consider it our commitment. Customers rely on us even when the market is

unpredictable. The current turbulence in sourcing affordable materials only reinforces how vital distribution is in the supply chain,” added Seszták. As part of its distribution services, SOS electronic offers full technical support, logistics solutions, and smart e-commerce tools. According to Seszták, clients are not only looking for better prices but also support in finding the best and most feasible solutions for their production.
