To be a successful component distributor in todays market it is not enough just to hold the right stock at the right price. Abacus consistently looks at ways of assisting our customers with additional services which help the customer to develop their own business by concentrating on core activities and reducing unnecessary stock on shortening lead times.

The two main areas where we can help are the provision of logistics support, which offers comprehensive stock management and sub-contract services where we can supply products part assembled or with a process, or series of processes, completed before delivery.

It is a fact that in today's complex manufacturing process there is a need for close co-operation between supplier and manufacturer. Abacus has been at the forefront of developing efficient systems to improve product availability, shipments and stock management, using tried and tested techniques including Just in Time, Ship to Stock, Push Pull Inventory Control and EDI.
