How a Leading Electronics Company Recovered $2M from Excess Inventory

One of NetSource Technology’s partners, a leading company in the electronics industry, faced a common challenge: excess inventory taking up warehouse space and draining operational resources. These components were not part of their core business operations, and selling them independently was not worth the effort.

By joining NetSource’s SmartExcess Program, they transformed their dormant inventory into a $2 million revenue stream in just 12 months—all without the hassle of managing sales or fulfillment.

The Challenge: Costly, Unused Inventory

Inventory Taking Up Space

Large volumes of electronic components sat in their warehouse, consuming valuable storage capacity.

No Resale Process in Place

Their business was not focused on reselling excess components, making it inefficient to allocate resources for selling them.

Ongoing Storage Costs

Holding onto unused parts was costing money with no return on investment.

“The company needed a turnkey solution to free up space, recover capital, and monetize excess stock without disrupting its primary operations.”

The Solution: SmartExcess Program

By enrolling in NetSource’s SmartExcess Program, the company shipped their excess inventory directly to NetSource, enabling a fully managed resale process with complete transparency and real-time tracking.

Key Benefits of the SmartExcess Program:

Space Optimization

Freed up valuable warehouse space by transferring surplus inventory to NetSource.

NetSource handled inspection, inventory management, and global resale—eliminating the need for internal sales efforts.

Immediate Market Access

Parts were listed, marketed, and sold quickly through NetSource’s global network of buyers.

By physically storing inventory at NetSource, components were ready for immediate shipping, avoiding fulfillment delays.

Transparent Tracking & Control

The partner accessed an online portal with:

  • Daily inventory updates
  • Real-time sales tracking
  • Easy part retrieval for project needs

The Results: $2M in Sales & 60% ROI on Original Part Value
