THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 135
BAY SUPPLY LET BAY SUPPLY BECOME YOUR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT PARTNER from page 65
All the top brands available in stock, 24 hour order
shipment with blind delivery with your logo, and all at the
lowest possible price. That’s the Bay experience with a
click of a button on the most advanced order management
processing system in the industry.
The cost to become a distributor of Bay Supply is free.
Distributors receive all the ordering services, technical
support staff, access to our multi-million dollar warehouse
of top brands, free shipping services to domestic
customers and quantity discount pricing. International
shipping is also made easy with instant pricing and
processing upon checkout.
Bay Supply’s philosophy is summed up in a recent talk
with Cliff Bernard, Bay’s CEO. “Any distributor in business
today has to face the challenge of warehouse and inventory
management. Too much inventory ties up critical operating
capital and too little results in losing a customer to the
competition. As we move into the next few years our
industry is going to become more and more transparent
and competition will become more intense.
Distributors will need to leverage inventories that are
not located in their proprietary warehouses. They will need
to leverage partner warehouse inventories to reduce costs
and remain competitive to preserve their customer base.”
Bay recently moved into a modern 25,000 sq.ft. facility
and stocked the shelves with millions of dollars of the
leading brands of specialty rivets, lockbolts, threaded
inserts and engineered fasteners. In addition, we have also
reached out to foreign manufacturers and brought their
products into our doors. Some of these products are lower
in cost and Bay can now offer them to those distributors
where price is their main consideration. Just ask about or
growing line of BayFast brand products.
Mike Eichinger, Bay’s COO has led the way in creating
the first electronic warehousing marketplace to serve the
wholesale fastener distributors with complete order
management processing and tracking. “We offer our
customers same day free domestic shipping on orders
received by 3:00pm EST and international shipping on
checkout. Our advanced system maintains a ship-to
address book and customer re-order list so distributors can
quickly process repeat orders. Our system accepts future
delivery dates and back order items with clear
acknowledgement to the buyer of their requested shipping
schedule and instructions.Tracking numbers, order
information, order history and accounting are all just a click
away from your computer screen”. Cliff Bernard and Mike
Eichinger have spent the last five years creating and
perfecting a state-of-the-art internet, e-commerce and
online educational resource for all engineered distributors.
They see the future of the fastener industry and will be
providing support to the leading vendor managed inventory
programs to meet the speed and efficiency demanded by
the marketplace.
