5 HIDDEN COSTS DISTRIBUTORS SHOULD ELIMINATE FOR CUSTOMERS
Sometimes the “cheapest” options end up
being the most expensive ones. Hidden costs
often lurk behind the scenes – in ways that
become obvious only when it’s too late. Here
are five such hidden costs we help customers
avoid with every purchase:
Trickle-Down Delays
Our manufacturers put us at the head of the
line following their production runs, which helps
our customers dodge excessive backorders that
cause costly delays and downtime.
Unwanted Volume
We don’t enforce manufacturer minimums,
ever. Our customers buy only what they need,
with just-in-time delivery.
BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE
Breakage And Defects
We only source from U.S. based
manufacturers who use premium materials and
provide lot numbers for every item. In the rare
event of a problem, we can easily make it right.
Fulfillment Mistakes
Prospect Fastener prides itself on accuracy.
In fact, we consistently ship with 99.5% or
better accuracy year after year.
Internal Logistics Issues
We consolidate your complex order before
it leaves our dock. Everything will be pre-packed
and marked for your team to move it out the
door as soon as it’s received. Less work on your
end means time (and money) saved.
