Authorised sources

Supply that comes through the channel that authorises it

Semixis buys inside the authorised channel and qualifies every source before it is used. Our job is to carry the documentation that proves the path from factory authorisation to your receiving dock, and to take responsibility for every lot we ship.

Channels qualified

18

authorised channels we buy through, across passives, semiconductors, connectors and electromechanical

Channel documentation is held on file for each source and shared with customers under NDA.

  1. 01

    Authorised channels only

    Parts come from the manufacturer or its authorised distributors, so allocation, price protection and traceability all come from the channel itself.

  2. 02

    New and original only

    Everything we ship is new and original, in manufacturer packaging, with date codes that match the documentation. If a line cannot meet that standard, we tell you instead of shipping it.

  3. 03

    Paperwork travels with the lot

    Invoice, packing list, date code and lot trace are carried through to your delivery, and available for audit.

The authorised route

Four stages, each with a document behind it

Every order follows the same path from factory authorisation to your receiving dock. No stage is skipped, and no stage is undocumented.

  1. 01

    Factory release

    Production, lot identity and date code are set at the manufacturer, and the authorised channel takes the line from there.

  2. 02

    Authorised channel

    Manufacturer direct or a franchised distributor, where allocation and price protection stay intact.

  3. 03

    Semixis intake

    Incoming inspection, documentation check and provenance review before a part is released to stock.

  4. 04

    Your line

    Lot-labelled, ESD-packed and shipped to your receiving dock with the paperwork that proves the path.

What the channel gives you

Authorised supply is a set of guarantees, not a label

Sourcing through manufacturer-authorised channels shapes what you can rely on long after the shipment lands: allocation, continuity, warranty and a defensible audit trail.

Allocation and price protection

Buying inside the authorised channel keeps your programme on the manufacturer's allocation registry, so committed volume is recognised when supply tightens rather than re-priced on the spot market.

Date-code continuity

Date codes move forward in a documented sequence instead of jumping between brokers. That continuity is what long-life programmes and customer audits depend on.

Warranty and RMA path

A failed part returns up the same path it arrived, with the manufacturer's warranty still attached and the channel's failure analysis available to your quality team.

Counterfeit exposure, reduced

Channel provenance is verified first, then the part itself is inspected. Every line is checked twice: where it came from, and what it actually is.

Supply standards

What travels with a lot, and what we will not ship

Carried on every lot

In the box
  • Manufacturer invoice and authorised-channel paperwork
  • Packing list showing lot, date code and quantity
  • Certificate of conformance where the manufacturer issues one
  • Incoming inspection record signed at intake
  • Traceability record keyed to your order and part number

We will not ship

Refusal criteria
  • Refurbished or re-marked parts presented as new
  • Mixed date codes inside a single lot
  • Broker stock without documentary trace back to origin
  • Packaging that cannot be tied to a lot we inspected
  • Any line where the paperwork and the parts disagree

If a line cannot meet the standard, we say so before quoting

Channel coverage

Coverage described by category, not by roster

What matters is whether a line can be sourced through a documented channel on the day you need it. Coverage is described by category for that reason.

Channel qualification

Four checks before a channel is used

A manufacturer badge on a website is not evidence. Each channel is qualified in writing before it enters a quotation.

  1. Step 01

    Corporate identity

    Registration, ownership and trading history are verified and held on file before any commercial discussion.

  2. Step 02

    Authorisation evidence

    Written confirmation of franchise or authorised status, for the specific product families we intend to buy.

  3. Step 03

    Traceability capability

    Lot and date-code records that can be followed from the manufacturer through to our receiving dock.

  4. Step 04

    Performance review

    On-time delivery, packaging integrity and RMA handling reviewed on a rolling basis. Channels that slip are suspended.

Need a line that is not on this list?

Send it to the desk. We will tell you whether it can be sourced new and original through a documented channel, and if it cannot, we will say so.
