Industry Trends

As industrial distributors and suppliers seek to improve performance and achieve competitive advantage, they are adding new service elements to their offering which provide value to the customer.  Increasingly, these services incorporate lean initiatives designed to eliminate waste, improve flow, and increase efficiency.  These elements include point-of-use solutions, corporate purchasing agreements and managed services.

Partnering with Nexiant

Choosing Nexiant as a strategic technology partner changes the dynamics of the customer-facing supply chain for these businesses, and powers a significant reduction in operational cost.  A portion of these cost savings can be passed on to participating customers, allowing the distributor or supplier to consolidate its position within existing accounts and displace competitors to gain market share.

The hard cost savings come from reducing or eliminating order processing costs and serving the customer with an optimized supply-chain versus existing supply processes.  The keys to creating these optimized supply-chains are:

• Visibility of onsite customer inventory levels
• Real-time visibility of usage
• Automated, pull-based, 24/7 replenishment signals replacing traditional order processes and reducing call center staffing
• Ability to plan and consolidate shipments
• Working with customers to reduce SKUs and consolidate more of the customer’s MRO spend
• Ability to provide the customer with usage analytics and business intelligence
• Ability to coordinate internal resources – branches, regions, channels – into a cohesive account team.

Only Nexiant has the combination of POU, inventory management, and enterprise solutions and services to integrate all the components of the end-to-end, customer-facing supply-chain.  And because our supply-chain solution is in the Cloud, it can scale to any capacity, operate without onsite servers and software, and offer guaranteed levels of availability, reliability, performance and security.
