To achieve sustainable improvements, Border States believes in forming supply chain agreements we call Strategic Business Relationships. Working together, we improve the processes of communicating and transacting business in the supply chain. The relationship frees up your company’s people and resources from non-value-added activities so they can refocus on your core business. It is a powerful alliance that requires a long-term commitment from both you and Border States.
You need performance and reliability from your supply chain. In a Strategic Business Relationship, we streamline costly and time-consuming processes such as bid preparation, bid distribution, analysis, multiple purchase orders, expediting, multiple invoices, statements, and payments. Once we drive these zero-value cost-adders from your supply chain, we then focus on additional savings opportunities related to inventory management, standardization, safety, training, and total cost reduction.
Powerful Relationships Yield Results
Our customized supply chain solutions deliver dramatic reductions in total cost, improved service levels, and greater efficiency. Using our Just-In-Time delivery and inventory services, our customers have reduced inventory investments by as much as 50% or more. We have seen inventory performance improve by 20–30% and downtime related to material shortages virtually eliminated.
Our technical and application specialists are focused on delivering measurable results. When a Strategic Business Relationship customer needed a solution to provide a more efficient process to reduce waste while improving worker safety, our dedicated employee-owners found the solution. We met their need and documented an expenditure savings of over $110,000 annually.
Devoted to your Success
Whatever level of service you require, from vendor-managed inventory to full outsource services, we provide the intense focus required to manage a winning integrated supply chain relationship. We are dedicated to understanding your goals and driving best practices for continuous improvement to ensure your success. Using innovation and the latest in technology, we provide the project management expertise and proven implementation process to reduce risk and improve your business processes.
Your supply chain is a huge investment. By using our strengths you can divest yourself from portions of the supply chain and focus on your core business. Through a Strategic Business Relationship you will make significant improvements, save on resources, lower costs, receive special attention on deliveries, plus you gain the loyalty associated with a long-term relationship with your supplier.
