Well, you might think: I am ordering parts, and if available, the distributer sells them to you. However, stumbling upon an article of Win-Source, I found: They are doing a lot more, also in the back office, which is not obvious. So, I took the opportunity to share some of those points with you – IMHO it is always a good idea to look “from the other side” and get an understanding of your partners. Here are just a view things:
