An energy and utilities company faced significant challenges in managing costs. Buyers were stretched thin, tasked with controlling inventory, ensuring the production line stayed operational, and finding cost-saving opportunities—all at the same time.

Martin Supply collaborated closely with the customer through a series of meetings and tailored proposals. Ultimately, Martin took full responsibility for the procurement, stocking, shipping, and line management of two high-use C-class components. This comprehensive approach streamlined operations and alleviated the burden on the customer’s buyers.

Martin’s solution delivered exceptional results. The customer’s owned inventory was reduced by over $690,000 through a combination of consignment and strategic supply chain management. Additionally, Martin’s sourcing activities achieved an annual cost reduction of $30,000 for the customer.
