EDI Capable
As an EDI-capable company, our clients only pay for parts when using them, minimizing storage requirements and saving more space. We also package all of our custom parts according to container, weight, size, and labeling specifications for proper handling and identification of all inventory. If our customers request blanket orders, we store enough product volume to cover a year, preventing supplies from taking up space at the client’s job site. We can then use electronically transmitted schedules to accommodate clients’ changing requirements, such as middle-of-the-year updates or weekly scheduling.
Additionally, being EDI-capable enables us to provide just-in-time (JIT) delivery as a specialty solution, with custom deliveries available within hours, overnight, or at the moment you need them in the event of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.
