1. Develop a plan
Work with your distributor to develop a plan that will help keep your jobsite productive and safe. How will you handle inventory? When will product be delivered? What are the options for safety? 2. Optimize digital solutions Look for distributors that allow for minimal physical interactions and have robust digital tools to help remotely order and manage inventory. Check out Fastenal’s options that allow you to gain insight into how your spend is allocated today, see product availability at the local branch, and view your order status online. 3. Gain visibility into your supply chain As man-hours ramp up, do you have the ability to see what inventory you have and where it’s located in order to forecast what your needs will be? Gain visibility into your inventory with solutions such as vending, heavy-duty jobsite storage, and Products-On-Demand. A FASTPOD is a secure solution that allows you to keep your jobsite supplied until the project is complete. 4. Supply chain resilience The need for a dependable supply chain has never been greater. A strong supply chain starts with a strong supplier. Look for a supplier with their own solid supply chain that can minimize delays and costs so you can stay focused on building. 5. Supply chain partnership All the steps above should work in conjunction with a supply chain partner. One who works with you to solve the challenges on your jobsite. This partner should send the right amount of inventory every time and reduce costs while providing data on usage. Vertical Divider
