SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION & OPERATIONS SERVICES
If you are faced with slower growth or a need to drive down spending, Turtle Integrated Supply can reduce risk and optimize working capital through visibility into your supply chain for indirect materials. Turtle is a mature service provider with vendor relationships and transaction management experience to eliminate fail points with our MRO supply chain management to ensure reliable, on-time delivery of critical products with guaranteed hard cost savings. Through our brand of integrated supply, we eliminate the potential for erratic supplier performance often seen when a client tries to manage a disparate supplier base tangled with complex business processes.
Turtle purchases direct from manufacturers to eliminate unnecessary layers of distributor mark up for non-value-added mark up; leveraging our customers’ combined purchasing power to negotiate aggressive pricing agreements with manufacturers. We are also supplier agnostic and routinely add new sources for materials based on client needs. Our industrial MRO services combine the volume of several Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries under one umbrella. By creating a baseline for all suppliers, we monitor compliance standards to create a sustainable supply chain for our clients and ensure an uninterrupted supply of goods to your plant.
BRING VALUE BACK TO YOUR ORGANIZATION
Many clients internally benchmark their sourcing to a contract. For example, it is considered “world-class” for an organization to allocate no more than 34% of total procurement costs to transactional source-to-settle activities for categories such as MRO and indirect materials. As your partner, Turtle can help you achieve an optimized MRO supply chain that supports both ad-hoc and pre-approved spend behavior within your guidelines and report this activity monthly.
Through our supply chain optimization services, Turtle acts as a strategic partner to provide rapid replenishment with necessary approvals through dynamic workflows, and fast, accurate invoicing that results in a layer of control and visibility that eliminates leakage, reduces your supplier base (Turtle becomes your one relationship to manage for MRO), and is harmonized with your existing processes.
We can provide comprehensive inventory strategies that optimize your inventory investment, as well as configure your storeroom for maximum efficiency. Turtle can also provide clear, reliable reports and analytics. Equipped with this information, you can set realistic goals for reducing your business’s MRO costs and monitor how Turtle’s purchasing and integrated supply services are benefiting your bottom line.
