DigiTimes reports Taiwan-based notebook makers Quanta, Compal, Wistron and Inventec are considering to set up a common component supply chain platform to cut costs and boost overall competitiveness against Korean and Chinese players.

Taiwan-based notebook makers Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics, Wistron and Inventec are considering establishing a common component supply chain platform, according to industry sources.

Currently, Quanta uses a self-developed platform for supply chain management, whereas Compal, Inventec and Wistron use eASP, Trade-Van and E2Open, respectively. Upstream component makers need to go through these platforms first to be able to enter the supply chains of the makers, the sources indicated.
