The Real Cost of
Shopping Around
You may think shopping around for the lowest prices on parts saves you money, but if you're using multiple suppliers each time you buy, it actually costs you more.
Time is money. Don't waste either!
There are many more costs associated with buying parts that are never reflected on a purchase order or credit card statement.
Think of the work that's put into searching and sourcing parts. Then, add in the tasks for purchase orders, receiving, stocking, accounting and (possibly) the returns processes. Now, multiply that by all the suppliers or manufacturers you're using. It adds up, right?!

When it comes to parts suppliers, less can give you more.
Here's what you could gain.
Simplified Accounting
With only one invoice to track, pay and process each month and fewer reports to sort through and organize, your administrators and accounting team will be able to scale back the number of transactions they process each month.
Lower Shipping Costs
Your overall shipping fees decrease when multiple parts can be shipped at one time or in one order. Fewer shipments also mean less time spent in receiving. If there is an issue with a courier or delivery, you have just one point of contact to work with.
Better Customer Support
One phone number to call. One website to visit. One customer service team to personally handle all of your orders and account questions. Plus, having all of your account information in one place makes it easier for you to access and manage.

Yes, price is a factor, but a cheaper part isn't always worth the cost I pay waiting around for someone to call me back.
