Fulfilled by DigiKey
Leveraging the Fulfilled by DigiKey program allows suppliers to warehouse their products at DigiKey and leverage DigiKey’s existing logistics network. This model allows for suppliers to sell their products globally without having to handle any of the shipping themselves other than getting products to DigiKey. The default setting in this program is a global engagement; however, if certain products cannot be sold into certain regions this can be controlled by simply letting DigiKey where products cannot be shipped to.
DigiKey is known for shipping low MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) to customers globally and this program will allow suppliers to use DigiKey’s existing channel to accomplish this for overall lower rates for customers. If a supplier is selling parts that come on reels, DigiKey can offer a value-add service of cutting those parts into cut tape strips to ship lower MOQs to customers.
This program is great for suppliers who are looking for a global partner in their distribution strategy. DigiKey can offer same-day shipping for any orders placed before 8 p.m. central time. The supplier would not be charged for any shipping to customers and, for a very reasonable price, can warehouse products at DigiKey in a well-controlled setting that is set up to handle parts that have MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) considerations and/or ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) considerations. This is a quote from the ESD Certified Professional Program Manager Shane Heinle that relates to conditions within DigiKey:
“DigiKey takes great pride in offering our customers Exceptional Value, Quality Product, and Superior Service along with the most important part of Continuous Improvement in our handling of ESD and MSL products. We are always looking at ways to make sure our customers and suppliers are taken care of, by making sure the products we sell are handled and packaged correctly while at DigiKey. DigiKey has been certified to ANSI/ESD S20.20 since March of 2010 and we follow the JEDEC J-STD-033 standard for handling moisture-sensitive products. “
The Fulfillment model essentially operates as a consignment model. The supplier would provide a “cost” of their goods to DigiKey. DigiKey would set resales online for the supplier and DigiKey would pay the supplier back the “cost” for each product that was sold. The supplier would not need to manage a portal in this program and DigiKey will provide weekly inventory reports to monitor stock levels.
