How FAST360° builds value 

Updated January 16, 2023
By Kirk Talmontas | VP of e-Commerce
FAST360 screen on iPad
Your FAST360° dashboard on Fastenal.com gives you a clear line of sight to your Fastenal program. The My Business tool lets you visualize how Fastenal-managed inventory is organized across your facilities (including current levels within your FASTVend and FASTBin devices). You can use the My Inventory tool to locate specific product needs, and the My Spend tool to analyze the dynamics of your Fastenal spend.
​​
For you, it means immediate answers to important questions: What is on hand, how much, and where is it located? Where are my purchasing dollars going, and what are the opportunities for improvement?

Moving forward, you can add another question to that list: How is my Fastenal program impacting the bottom line? The new FAST360° Cost Savings tools provide objective answers, quantifying the value of our investment in your business in terms of service and solutions. You have access to two reporting views.


Cost savings summary
A monthly snapshot of your cost savings program. You’ll see your year-to-date savings versus your cost savings target, your savings by month (actual vs. target), and the specific drivers behind those headline numbers, from consumption and freight reduction to labor savings through our restock service.​​​
