In today’s budget conscious world, it is imperative to get the most out of your IT dollars and still be able to justify your decision to management and shareholders.

Having shipped materials around the world to meet a moving target, we understand Custom’s procedures, project lead times and delivery time sensitivity.

Waveguide specializes in marine materials and hard to acquire specialty items.  Whether you are looking for a custom fiber jumper, a European power cord or a special connector for a legacy system, Waveguide will do what it takes to get your exact item to wherever you need it whenever you need it.

Internally, the Procurement & Logistics department works together with Engineering, Project Management, and Operations.   We can stock and store products in anticipation of project lead times, reducing your overhead costs and on-site storage requirements.  Regardless of the industry however, the driving factor behind all procurement logistics initiatives is a desire to reduce costs and minimize project disruptions. The failure of materials to arrive on schedule can easily result in a complete work stoppage. The minor savings in storage costs are more than lost in the cost of additional wages and overhead during a period with no production. There is a level of risk with all decisions, and our Procurement & Logistics Team are experts at minimizing the known risks.
