PHOENIX — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 21, 2024 — Spirit Electronics rolled out a new e-commerce store for rapid component procurement. The feature will support customers in the aerospace and defense supply chain as well as offer Spirit’s inventory to customers in electric vehicle, medical and industrial markets. Spirit’s part and inventory search now features a secure shopping cart and credit card checkout option for customers to buy directly from Spirit’s online stock.
Spirit’s e-commerce site also uses API integration to sell in-stock components directly from the Texas Instruments online store. TI is the first supplier among Spirit’s authorized distribution manufacturers to integrate with Spirit’s e-commerce option. Spirit plans to expand the integration to more suppliers in the future.
Current stock includes a range of components from all of Spirit’s authorized lines, with the option to request a quote for any part among Spirit’s authorized manufacturers. The streamlined e-commerce purchase option offers variable quantity purchases with the benefits of Spirit’s customer service and physical and digital security measures, which include counterfeit prevention, cybersecurity compliance, and customer information protection.
“This is a new business channel for Spirit with dedicated internal support in our warehouse for rapid order fulfillment,” says Spirit CEO Marti McCurdy. “E-commerce offers convenience and speed for our customers with access to live inventory at Spirit and at TI.”
Spirit’s e-commerce store will feature strategically stocked high-demand components based on customer part searches, and stocking requests are welcome. The store is convenient for prototyping, low- or variable-volume orders, and “high-runner” components. Customers will have the option to order a certificate of conformance for components sold through the store, but the streamlined nature of Spirit’s e-commerce will exempt store orders from more complex testing and purchase requirements. Customers will still be able to request a quote for these services through the store for access to Spirit’s full range of testing and value-added services.
“Both our customers and suppliers have been asking Spirit for this feature because they want quick access to Spirit’s secure and agile distribution chain,” explains McCurdy. “Spirit is always looking for ways to streamline our supply chain, and this e-commerce store meets the growing demand for faster and easier component delivery.”
