Our customers value our support throughout the machinery lifecycle: from design, operation, maintenance and to repairs. We enable our customers to consolidate suppliers to simplify their processes. We supply both our customers' direct needs for initial planned installations and indirect needs, such as spareparts.
Optimized delivery
With our One Source procurement approach, we serve our customers quickly and effectively. We organize the complete procurement of electrical automation components for many machine builders and plant operators. This simplifies our customers' purchasing and leads to better conditions for them overall. Instead of long supply chains and countless supply partners, you receive everything from a single source and work with us as an efficient, reliable business partner. We keep delivery costs low through regular consolidated deliveries. For industrial end customers, we also organize spare parts in small quantities with a focus on fast delivery times.
For example: you ask us for articles from Siemens, ifm, Keyence and Wenglor and we combine everything in one order for you. Stock items are dispatched immediately, products that are not in stock are ordered immediately and we recommend you alternatives or successors if needed. If you have any questions or problems, you can reach us immediately by phone or e-mail. This makes it easy for you to see whether your project can be realized and to keep an overview.
This allows our customers to consolidate their suppliers, which streamslines their processes:
- Fewer invoices, inquiries and order confirmations
- Personal contacts for all topics
- On-site technical advice
In addition, we can keep delivery costs low through regular collective deliveries. In order to offer our customers the best prices and delivery times, we work closely with our manufacturing partners.
