Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day in Arrow's state-of-the-art office on Jian-Yi Road in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City, reviewing overnight leads from the CRM system.

Here, you demo the latest microcontroller solutions, discussing how Arrow's supply chain expertise mitigates shortages—a hot topic post-global chip crisis.

Mid-morning, you pivot to nurturing an existing client facing inventory challenges. Using your pricing model knowledge, you craft a custom value-added service package that boosts their margins.
