BTL are specialists in the supply of industrial components to all manner of industries throughout the UK.

The success that BTL has enjoyed stems directly from the fact that they are always able to respond quickly to the requests of their customers. The service element to that response culminates in BTL’s ability to deliver the required product to the customer during any of the 24 hours of each day including the weekends.

To be able to provide that kind of service, BTL’s customers have the faith that the products that they need will be in stock at one of BTL’s branches.

BTL are both product specialists AND inventory specialists.

In today’s climate, where every minute counts, BTL are supporting their clients in industry by providing their inventory expertise on-site and effectively managing the stock of agreed, specified parts.

This Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) service provides a number of benefits to the customer. These include -

• One order number raised for the year, which means less paper work and administration costs at your end.

• No longer having to spend time sourcing the best price

• No longer having to manage the stock (products supplied by BTL)

• The maintenance team can spend more time on maintaining the plant instead of sourcing, procuring and managing stock

• BTL can work as an extension of the maintenance team to ensure that the parts are always available which in turn will minimise any downtime experienced through lack of spare parts.

• Consigned stock at customer’s premises thus enabling them to pay for the goods only as and when they are used.

• Reduction of delivery charges when the plant is broken down.

• BTL will (in time) understand the plant assets in a way which will enable them (BTL) to deliver added benefits and increase the mean time between failure of the machinery and look at cost reduction initiatives.

If you would like to better understand the mechanics of the VMI service provided, then please contact a BTL branch.
