Known as Avnet Express, Asia, the new site provides design and purchasing
executives at OEM and EMS firms with rapid access to inventory held across
Asia. They can also enjoy online access to Avnet Electronics Marketing’s
global component menu, which now includes more than four million different
parts.
“Right now about 15 percent of our web customers are shopping from Asia
– and having their parts shipped from the warehouse in the U.S. The ability
to access and purchase inventory within Asia will provide Asia customers
reduced cycle time and logistics costs, enabling them to order products from
the location closest to their operation,” said Beth Ely, senior vice president
of new channel development for Avnet Electronics Marketing (EM).
“Local payment options and local customer service support from within the
region will also make it easier for them to do business. Avnet Express is the
first distributor to launch a website which will provide a consistent global
platform with localized content and functionality,” Ely added.
Avnet Express, Asia is a sophisticated e-commerce platform that enables a
comprehensive end-to-end online service — from part and inventory searches,
price checking, ordering to online payment. The site has been designed with a
host of powerful functions such as parametric part searches, Bill of Material
(BOM) optimization and parts cross-referencing. It can be viewed in 13
currencies and nine languages, including simplified Chinese and Japanese and
payments can be settled via AliPay, UnionPay, Visa and MasterCard.
With a rich library of information on 140 different franchised lines,
Avnet Express, Asia offers engineers a fast and efficient resource to search
Avnet EM’s Asia inventory in real time to check on availability and pricing.
The site also supports searches and ordering across different regions as well
as worldwide, allowing customers to buy products from much further afield if
necessary.
“Avnet Express Asia complements our existing business extremely well and
is an integral part of the Avnet EM supply chain,” said Stephen Wong,
president of Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia. “We are well known for our
design services and supply chain solutions. Now, leveraging the power of the
Internet, Avnet Express, Asia extends our offering still further, giving
customers the option of choosing different searching, ordering and purchasing
models to suit their needs.”
“Our regional teams can also provide field sales and application support
if necessary to meet special customer requirements. This adds real value for
customers and differentiates Avnet Express, Asia from typical e-commerce
websites and is a further demonstration of our commitment to customer
service,” added Wong.

Have the hospital fax you a copy of the denied claim. It should only take them a few seconds and I would stay on the phone with them until it is received. Once you have that in your hands it will be easier to talk to the insurance company.
