EPC's Build to Order Service

Quick Turn-Around for Qualified Customers

For those cases where a small product quantity is required, Advantech’s BTOS is a perfect fit. Maybe a customer needs one engineering sample, or is selling a low volume item and requires just a few units per month. Instead of investing in costly inventory that sits around in storage, they take advantage of Advantech’s BTOS service, where 98% of incoming orders are completed within three days.

Efficient Online Project Initiation

To start a project, a customer logs in at http://b2b.advantech.com.tw/Login/login.asp then fills in the particulars for the project. Single Board PC with processor, plus appropriate selection of chassis, memory, HDD, FDD, SSD, CompactFlash, are all available online, at the click of a mouse. One of the great time savers of this system is the that the system helps the customer navigate the way to a logical, working system.

Previously, incompatible components were occasionally (not to say often) specified, then some effort was required to straighten out the errors. Now, as the customer makes selections, subsequent menus are automatically limited to those components that are compatible with his previous choices. So as he goes, he builds a workable system. When the order is completed and submitted, it goes directly to the factory for completion.

If the customer is just checking, and not ready to order immediately, any project configuration may be saved to a name specified by the customer, and retrieved at a later date. Similarly, project price quotes may also be saved and retrieved. Special delivery requests, such as two-day rush delivery (subject to geographical limitations), or delivery on a specific day, may be entered in the “notes” section.

Wherever you are in the world, you can take advantage of Advantech’s Build to Order Service. Four logistic centers worldwide–Fremont, California; Eindhoven, Holland; Kunshan, China; and Taipei, Taiwan–make sure that no matter where you are, BTOS is not far away.
