DALLAS, Nov. 1, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Semiconductor supply assurance continues to be a
priority in the electronics industry. Texas Instruments (TI)
(Nasdaq: TXN) today announced a major step forward to help
manufacturers get the products they need, introducing a suite of
application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide
unprecedented access to accurate, real-time inventory information
about available TI analog and embedded processing products.
"Companies are looking for ways to streamline their ability to
better forecast their supply needs and speed time to market – and
that means working directly with their suppliers," said
Mark Roberts, senior vice president
of worldwide sales and marketing at TI. "We are excited to be the
first semiconductor manufacturer to launch these APIs, giving our
customers the clearest visibility into TI's inventory of authentic
products and a more convenient purchasing experience."
TI store APIs allow customer procurement systems to link
directly to TI systems and quickly exchange data digitally. TI
customers can use these APIs to customize their ordering process
and purchase TI products when they are immediately available.
Access to real-time TI inventory data helps procurement teams
reduce cost and delays, while improving the accuracy of the
information they receive. Learn more about TI APIs at
www.ti.com/api.
Benefits of TI store APIs:
- Faster, more automated ordering. TI store API access
reduces the time and steps needed to order products. Automation
speeds the purchasing process, making it easier for purchasing
managers to understand their true inventory situation and more
accurately forecast their actual supply needs.
- Self-service connectivity. TI provides resources with
API documentation such as workflow integration guides and
pre-developed starter code to connect to the suite of TI store
APIs. Additionally, customers can leverage a dedicated TI E2E™
design support forum to receive support as they test and implement
functionality.
- Flexibility in payment and fulfillment. TI helps its
customers manage their cash flow more effectively. For those
ordering through the TI store API, TI accepts payments in over 15
currencies and multiple payment options, including bank transfer,
Apruve or net 30 line-of-credit terms. TI also acts as importer of
record in 45 countries, helping customers achieve savings on
customs clearance fees.
- A consistent, familiar ordering process. Customers can
customize order entries to match the look and feel of their
internal procurement teams, simplifying the order process.
"Connecting to TI through our new suite of APIs gives our
customers the ability to automate the purchasing process using the
practices, controls and methods that best fit their individual
business model," said Jason Raboy,
online catalog business director at TI. "There has never been a
more convenient way to access available, authentic TI inventory,
nor so many customizable ways to obtain it."
