When a manufacturer announces End-of-Life (EOL) for a critical component, production doesn't stop-but your supply might. At ODK, we specialize in EOL component sourcing, giving you access to last-time buys, legacy stock, and trusted third-party channels.
We maintain thousands of EOL parts in stock, ready to ship. And if the component you need isn't currently in our inventory, our experienced purchasing teams in the USA, UK, India, and China will source it from the most reliable suppliers worldwide.
Our team proactively tracks EOL notices and helps you secure the components you need to extend product lifecycles, avoid redesigns, and protect your bottom line.
Phase | ODK Workflow | Key Client Collaboration Points |
---|---|---|
Demand Identification | Monitor real-time market data for EOL alerts; identify components at risk of supply disruption. | Clients provide EOL component lists/product details; jointly prioritize materials (criticality, volume, timeframe). |
Global Sourcing |
Leverage 20+ country supplier network to locate inventory: • OEMs/authorized distributors • Certified brokers • Factory surplus channels |
Clients select preferred supplier tier; ODK prioritizes factory-sealed parts, then certified refurbished/tested stock. |
Quality Verification |
Perform three-stage validation: 1. Cosmetic/packaging inspection 2. Electrical/functional testing 3. X-Ray/decapsulation (high-risk parts) |
Clients define validation standards (e.g., military ASTM); may provide custom test protocols; ODK shares full certification reports. |
Procurement Execution |
• Bulk price negotiation • Global inventory allocation • Prepaid rapid purchasing • Multi-warehousing (mitigate cross-border risks) |
Clients determine order volume (samples/bulk); ODK advises on cost optimization (e.g., substitute components). |
Supply Chain Management |
• Multi-channel logistics (air/sea/bonded warehouse) • Real-time tracking • Customs clearance support • Emergency buffer stock planning |
Clients specify delivery deadlines; ODK creates contingency plans; urgent orders delivered in ≤72hrs. |
Lifecycle Extension Support |
• Provide alternates/substitutes • Support recertification • Long-term inventory strategy consulting |
Clients define lifespan goals (e.g., 5-year production continuity); ODK offers rolling replenishment or redesign pathways. |
