Making Obsolescence Obsolete Flip is a "specialty distributor." Specialty, not based on the category of a part’s function, but on its disposition. Flip uses demand data and deep analytics to determine which parts on your BOM are at risk of going obsolete. Flip then creates a custom solution for each component with a high risk of being EOL. Flip delivers component level EOL avoidance strategies that extend product life cycles and provide assurance of supply for your most critical programs.
