When a user logs into the site, a list is displayed that shows all Product Change Notifications (PCNs) and Product Termination Notifications (PTNs) relating to part numbers they have purchased from Anglia.
PartTracker was first launched just over a year ago, with the aim of providing a Web-based information resource that kept users up to date with the RoHS compliance status of parts on their bills of materials. The same framework is now being used to keep customers informed of all the relevant changes to specification or availability of the components they purchase.
Said David Pearson, Anglia’s technical marketing manager, “PartTracker gives our customers immediate access to all the relevant data about the components they are interested in, including any changes to their mechanical or electrical specification and whether they are scheduled to be discontinued. This gives the engineer or purchaser an unprecedented level of control over decisions on sourcing components for their products. No other component supplier offers as comprehensive a source of information as that available from PartTracker.”
