Total Acquisition Management Keeps Your Supply Chain Intact

Of the many reasons why Etratech is an industry leader, one is our Total Acquisition Management program, our supply chain management service that allows our customers access to the best prices, lead times, and logistics – regardless of their size.   The T.A.M. program provides for convenience and reliability. 

Why is a program like T.A.M. so invaluable to our customers? Beyond the convenience, there’s the important factor of reliability.  Supply chains have proven, for many companies, to be quite shaky, and when they fail, so too can a business.  Recently, Qualcomm, a worldwide provider of wireless technology and services, reported shares falling close to 15% in less than a month, all due to supply chain problems.  Their supply chain issues cost this leading company a great deal of business and money. 

Unreliable supply chain factors can drastically affect your business, and the best way to prevent this is by trusting Etratech, and our T.A.M program.  We can take away the fears of lost business due to supply chain troubles by handling everything with our dedicated supply chain and facilities. 

After all, isn’t your business too important to trust to anything less than reliable?

Etratech and the Housing Market Recovery

The housing market is finally recovering, and with it is the growing demand for in-home consumer electronics.  In fact, The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) just released a report that stated that installed home technology, including entertainment and automation control solutions, are becoming a crucial part of home development and sales.

 

Steve Koenig, CEA's director of industry analysis, stated that "This year's study confirms CEA's long-held belief and prediction that home technology would make a positive contribution to the inevitable housing market recovery as home buyers' digital lifestyles and desires for energy efficiency factor into purchasing decisions."

Lighting controls, structured wiring, entertainment, and home automation are features that are quickly becoming more and more important to home builders and buyers, and are therefore contributing to the growth of the housing market.  Etratech’s electronics are used in a wide variety of these types of controls, making them necessary to the market’s continued upswing.  In this way, Etratech’s quality products have a role in this exciting—and long awaited—recovery, and we’re proud to be providing the manufacturers of these products with the best electronics and controls available.
