    EDI

    Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a computer-based-supplier communication system which has an ultimate goal of a paperless purchasing operation. EDI is the direct electronic transmission computer to computer, of standard business forms, such as purchase orders, shipping notices, invoices, and the like, between Industrial Mill and it's customer. In a purchasing environment documents are transmitted "over the wire," elimination the need to generate hard copies and to distribute them manually. By utilizing EDI, Industrial Mill and its customer can operate in a near real-time environment, which can reduce material delays by shortening procurement lead times. A properly functioning EDI system produces numerous advantages. A reduction in paperwork and related administrative requirements results in increased productivity. Accuracy of the data processed is increased and more complete and faster feedback of order status information is possible. Finally, by reducing  purchasing lead times, additional time can be spent planning and solving problems.

    Single Sourcing and Partnering Specialist

    We at Industrial Mill & Maintenance Supply are in a unique position. For customers interested in partnering, we not only can reduce their vendor base in one commodity, but possibly several. Due to our broad product mix, it may be possible to consolidate your procurement of power transmission, pipe, valves and fittings, in addition to safety and general MRO supplies. In essence, you could be dealing with one supplier instead of ten or more. This would result in even greater savings to the partners. The relationship can be designed as single or complex as you would like it to be. Developing a close working relationship, reducing your inventory, improving deliveries and increasing overall efficiency would be of mutual benefit to both partners. Partnerships promote a win-win situation, both customer and supplier winning in the long haul.
