If you're not familiar with the term Onsite, start by picturing your facility. Now imagine that a door opens right off the main walkway to reveal a Fastenal location, right there in your facility.
That’s an Onsite. Or at least a glimpse of what it can offer. So let’s dive into the details. What is an Onsite? Simply put, a Fastenal Onsite is a program where we invest in your location. The Onsite is in your facility and it’s solely focused on your supply chain needs. This is really the pinnacle of a strategic partnership. And the reason I say strategic is that an Onsite allows for true collaboration, where we design a strategy and program to align Fastenal's strengths with your supply chain challenges. Each solution is customized. This model allows us to dedicate personnel, inventory, and automated solutions to drive towards the strategic goals that we identified together at the launch of the program. So at the end of the day, we're helping your supply chain become more agile. We focus on creating efficiencies and fostering continuous improvement to achieve your goals. What's the value proposition? The majority of the time when we partner with a client through an Onsite program, we help them create a digital footprint. Meaning we automate the inventory management within the facility through an array of solutions. These solutions focus on supply chain health. Here are the three we most often use.
Each of these solutions create data points, which are monitored and managed by dedicated Fastenal labor. This frees you up from inventory management functions and allows you to focus on executing your mission. What's the big takeaway? It’s simple. An Onsite strengthens your supply chain. Regardless of the challenges you face, an Onsite program brings world-class resources directly to your facility with the sole focus of a strategic partnership. This is a partnership where you help define the goals and key performance metrics to quantify the value of the program. If the disruption over the past year and a half has taught us anything, it's not that the cheapest supply chain wins, but the shortest. An Onsite program is the most effective vehicle in achieving that goal. See the conversationYou may also like: Vertical Divider
