Distributor of electronic and industrial components, repair and operations products and services, is one of the first suppliers to migrate its complete catalogue to emarketplace, Zanzibar.

Farnell InOne, international distributor of electronic and industrial components, repair and operations products and services, is one of the first suppliers to migrate its complete catalogue from the OGCbuying.solutions Catalist service to its new emarketplace, Zanzibar, allowing public sector buyers direct access to the full Farnell InOne range. The transition of over 130,000 Farnell InOne products to the new system is the largest on the Zanzibar site and enables buyers direct access to the distributor's range over the internet to transact end-to-end requisitions, orders and invoices. The Zanzibar website is a key part of the Government's procurement strategy and is accessible by all public sector organisations in the UK, allowing government departments both choice and financial savings in their procurement efforts.

Mark Peers, Public Sector Business manager of Farnell InOne commented: 'As one of the first suppliers to make the transition from Catalist to Zanzibar, we can offer our public sector customers buying efficiency with both major procurement savings and a wealth of e-procurement benefits - from online transactions to e-invoicing'.

'This means that the full Farnell InOne linecard - from tooling, to lighting, maintenance and repair equipment and our full RoHS compliant catalogue - is now available across the entire public sector.'
