Fastener shops leaking time and money
Bins of bolts, nuts, and washers. Grades and finishes. Metric beside SAE. A contractor reorders the same kit until the job ends. I build a custom intelligent system for that shop.
Sound familiar?
A contractor reorders the same kit of grade 5 hex bolts until the job ends, then the orders stop.
A job lot of one finish is still in the bin, and you reorder a different finish of the same diameter.
The same grade 5 kit goes out on a quote after the last buy of that finish no longer matches the quote.
How I find it
Sales history by kit, grade, and finish, not only by a single part number.
Purchases, including the job lot that never found a second buyer.
Your accounting system, where the same fastener order gets typed a second time.
What the system does
It watches fastener sales and purchases 24/7. It pings you when a contractor account orders less, when a bin of one finish isn’t moving, or when what you paid and what you sold it for stop lining up. It never takes action on its own. You decide.
SampleGrade 5, 1/2 inch hex bolts in plain finish are moving. The zinc bin of the same size is still full. Hold the zinc reorder.
You decide
You choose the call, the reorder, and what stays in the bin. Nothing goes out, and nothing gets bought, until you say so.
Questions
What does a fastener leak look like?
A quiet contractor account, a bin of one finish that isn’t moving, or a fast size that runs out while a slow size sits beside it.
Does it place the order?
No. It pings you. It never takes action on its own. You decide.
Where do I start?
A free leak audit. 20 minutes on your shop. I show you where time and money leak.
