Representing manufacturing services for California customers since 1992.
"I had the pleasure of working with Datanet for nearly four years. During that time, they taught me the meaning of value. While COGS are important and easily measured, value is not. Too often, intangibles such as service are overlooked. I would welcome the opportunity to trust them with my supply base over and over."
 
 
Datanet and our EMS partners provide our customers with a vast array of services that extend well beyond our customers' in-house capabilities and allows them to enhance their company's Return-On-Equity. How can you benefit in enhancing your supply chain through us? Do you want to truly leverage your company's resources to the max? Our EMS companies' engineering capabilities are borne of years of working closely with suppliers and keeping up on the latest manufacturing technology. As a result, we provide outstanding support in achieving design-for-cost (DFC), design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT). Rather than having to maintain an in-house, multi-faceted engineering staff, allow us to provide product design for you.
 
 

 

 
Component Manufacturing: In the electronics industry, staple components include printed circuit boards and sheet metal/Plastic enclosures. We represent world-class component manufacturers in both of these areas servicing a variety of industries. We will work closely with your engineering group to meet your design specification, cost, and time-to-market constraints.
 
Supplier Selection: Whether it is negotiating with your AVL approved suppliers, or leveraging our global sourcing capabilities, we can often obtain the materials at a more cost competitive and delivery-friendly terms. We eliminate potential sourcing delays and take on the risks of supplier management.
 
 

Inventory Management: The average annual inventory carrying cost is approximately 35% of the book value of the inventory. Minimizing inventory levels, and battling the obsolescence, yield loss, and inventory stocking expend a significant amount of overhead resources. Our services eliminate these burdens from you and allow you to focus on your company's core competencies.    
Inventory Liquidation: Facing end-of-life inventory write-offs resulting from forecast discrepancies? (How can those marketing projections be wrong?!?). We can turn those inventory losses to real dollars that add to your bottom line. (Great way to be a real hero to your company's CEO/CFO!). We can remarket your electronic component inventories and resell them for real dollars. Let us show you how!    

 
 

Logistics Management: Dealing with material movement and transportation logistics are part of our competencies.
