Case Study: Future Electronics accelerates supply chain velocity and unifies global operations with QAD Precision (QAD)

How an innovative Canadian electronics distributor uses QAD Precision to reduce server reboot time by 20% and provides innovative customizations

Future Electronics, a Montreal‑headquartered global distributor of semiconductors and electronic components operating in 169 locations across 44 countries, runs a high‑speed operation processing 19,000–20,000 pieces daily. Its distributed centers have different cultures and workflows, creating challenges for standard transportation and ERP systems to provide the deep customization and focus on supply‑chain velocity and throughput the company requires.

After evaluating alternatives, Future partnered with QAD Precision to replace its EMS/TMS and, in a rapid rollout across Memphis, London and Singapore, unified disparate integrations into a single, customized platform. The implementation delivered measurable gains — a 20% reduction in server reboot times, deeper ERP integration, faster order processing with fewer errors, improved visibility and cross‑border routing, the ability to modify shipments in transit, and reduced IT support burden — and is being expanded to additional facilities.
