Zenode Partners with TME to Bring Real-Time Pricing
Engineers using Zenode can now see live TME pricing and stock data alongside AI-extracted datasheet information — no more tab-juggling between distributor sites.
06/11/2026 — Zenode (zenode.ai), the AI-powered electronics component search platform, today announced a data partnership with Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME), leading global distributor of electronic components. The integration brings daily-updated pricing and availability for TME’s full catalog of electronic components directly into Zenode’s search and AI tools.
Why It Matters
Component selection has always been a two-screen problem: one screen for technical specs, another for pricing and availability. Engineers bounce between datasheet PDFs and distributor websites dozens of times per project, often losing hours to a process that should take minutes.
Zenode was built to collapse that workflow. The platform’s AI reads manufacturer datasheets and lets engineers search tens of millions of unique parts using plain-language queries, then shows them results alongside sources they can verify for themselves. Adding TME’s distributordata means engineers can now search things like “I need a low-ESR 100µF capacitor rated for 105°C for under 13 cents” and see what’s available without leaving the platform.
As Brandon Bourn, CEO of Zenode, says: “Engineers don’t want to spend their design time reading datasheets or checking distributor websites for pricing and availability. We’ve spent years building Zenode to handle the first problem, now this partnership with TME allows us to start solving the second.”
What This Means for TME
Zenode reaches engineers at the earliest stage of the process as they’re choosing the components they’ll use during the design stage. By surfacing TME’s pricing and availability inside the search and evaluation workflow, Zenode puts TME’s inventory in front of engineers months before their BOMs are locked. Decisions made at this stage tend to persist through production, meaning early visibility translates directly to long-term purchasing relationships.
“As a global distributor, we see increasing importance in supporting engineers early in the design phase, when key component decisions are made. Partnering with Zenode allows us to be part of that process by providing direct access to TME’s pricing and availability during component evaluation, not just at the purchasing stage.” – says Grzegorz Kobalczyk, Commercial Director of TME
