In addition to this, it is also providing support by relaunching its 'ask the expert' service.

The service is provided to allow anyone to ask its team of subject matter experts about any queries or issues they may have in relation to difficulties with supply chain risk, obsolescence, NATO codification and Part Data Management, procurement or Long Term Storage.
