Purchasing Services


Let Us Do the Buying

We issue and manage purchase orders in your system for selected items that you source, negotiate pricing for, and then assign to us to optimally sustain.

We are system-agnostic.  We can work with virtually any ERP or WMS system.

Hands-Off, Always-On

We ensure 100% availability of our assigned stock items.  This enables manufacturers and distributors to improve their fulfillment lead times and on-time shipments to reliably meet demand and delight customers.

Pay As You Go

Our transactional pricing guarantees that you will get a marginal labor cost saving.  This allows you to augment your existing purchasing team often for 50% of the cost while providing the benefits of our specialized materials management expertise and always-on execution.

Data or System Challenges?

No problem.  Solving master data and system problems is our bread and butter.  Let us optimize your MRP data, material planning, and purchasing as your designated buyer/planner so you can reduce your operating costs while your team focuses on strategic objectives.

Inventory Management Challenges?

Our inventory optimization services are included as part of our purchasing service, which can often drive inventory reductions from 20% to 60% while still sustaining material availability and service levels at or near 100%.  We will routinely optimize and maintain MRP master data for your selected material items to maximize economic inventory performance.

Additionally, we offer consulting services to help resolve MRP and inventory accuracy issues to establish best practices.
