NORTH AMERICA’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE
FASTENER SOURCING PLATFORM
On July 30th, 2015, a new fastener sourcing &
information portal – “Strategize-in.com” was launched
which envisions to be North America’s most
comprehensive fastener sourcing platform. This platform
is aimed at complementing E-procurement decisions by
Strategic Sourcing Teams, the idea is for fastener buyers
to start strategizing online to optimize costs and
identifying the right suppliers.
After making many new connections at the 2015
National Industrial and Mill Supply Expo, it has become
clear that one of the main challenges in the industry is
buyers finding suppliers who can provide requested
materials according to a buyer’s specifications. At
Strategize-in we strive to alleviate this problem through
providing a way for buyers to post their inquiries with
detailed specifications at a single forum that can be
accessed by any subscribing suppliers.
This platform is very well timed in the era of social
media and eCommerce. With the exponential growth of
the internet and next generation of tech savvy owners
and professionals in the Industry taking charge,
Strategize-in.com has tremendous scope to add value to
your businesses. Giving you 24x7 access with increasing
global reach and providing another avenue for marketing
and advertisement.
As proof of the concept, a similar platform
conceptualized by the same team has already been
successfully established for the Asian territory for 3
years with a growing number of users and analytics. We
have simply taken this platform and ported it into the
world’s largest markets in affiliation with a qualified
professional team at Information Innovations, Conesville
(OH).
As you browse the site (Strategize-in.com), you will
find it to be a comprehensive source of all Fastener
related activities. We have an exhaustive directory of
North American and other global listings that can be
viewed online. Verticals such as raw material, machinery,
tooling as well as surplus offers are covered as well.
Buyer inquiries can be viewed online with a username &
password issued after registration. Inquiries are for
standard as well as special parts which can immediately
connect buyers with suppliers who can be hard to find.
Raw material consisting of wire rods, wires and bars
are a major cost component & sourcing right can be done
using E-procurement. Offers by suppliers & requirements
by manufacturers can be posted online. Machinery and
tooling needs are also addressed where regular offers of
used machinery can also be viewed online.
Overstock listings can be posted free wherein the
probability of dead stock being converted to cash is far
greater with the entire industry viewing the platform
regularly.
Lastly, a plethora of information regarding upcoming
fairs and events globally, updated industry news,
publications and associations related to the Fastener
Industry is also available.
Most of the services are free to use permanently
except unlimited access to inquiries which currently is on
free trial and would have an annual charge once the site
reaches optimal value for suppliers. The purpose of the
free trial is for companies to ascertain the authenticity
and quality of the buyer inquiries and upgrade only on
finding confidence in the services.
The key to future growth and success of the platform
lies with growing Industry participation. Have a look,
browse through the site and try the services to make an
informed decision. Go strategize-in.com.
