Custom and Integrated Solutions

As a leading global independent distributor of electronic components and inventory solutions, Briew supports manufacturers and distributors around the world with their most critical supply chain challenges while providing the highest level of quality and delivering the lowest total cost of procurement – including shortage, obsolete, cost-savings, excess & obsolete material disposition, tailored inventory programs, and value-added services.

Shortage >> Obsolete >> Hard-to-Find
Shortage >> Obsolete >> Hard-to-Find

hrough access to our in-stock inventory in 3 global distribution centers, our worldwide network of qualified suppliers, and the speed and global reach of our proprietary sourcing software, Briew Market Search (VMS), we fulfill our customer's most challenging component requirements. VMS offers Briew a distinct competitive advantage in its ability to provide unsurpassed speed in sourcing available material from around the world.  Our strategically positioned global sourcing teams work around the clock to locate the parts you need, when you need them, whether lead time is outside of your demand, product allocation, or there just seems to be no material in the market.


Within seconds of entering a part number (or multiple part numbers), Briew receives global availability, contact information, and vendor rating for each supplier. Our VMS software results also display current and historic pricing data, current and obsolete manufacturer cross-references, and data sheets providing our sourcing experts a measurable advantage when sourcing and negotiating to meet your price point expectations. Each VMS search returns material availabilities from Briew Stock (including exclusively consigned partner material) franchise distributors, private stock offers that are proprietary to Briew and the complete availabilities from all global independent distributors. All suppliers are rated according to product conformance, timeliness, and historic volume.
