Do you know how a well-run facility adds value for a company and its customers? What should you focus on to operate more efficiently? Do you have the right company culture to make it happen? It’s important to take a strategic approach as you drive to optimize operational performance in your organization. To help guide you, we’ve gathered insights from three experts on the essential elements needed to cultivate a well-oiled operations facility.
Logistics Management Services
Logistics
Work smarter with Van Meter electrical supply’s logistics management. Our services can help you streamline projects so you can focus on what really matters: getting the right products at the right time to meet budget and scheduling goals. From reducing paperwork requirements to organizing shipments, managing project logistics just became simpler.
Project Estimation/Quotations
Van Meter dedicates an entire team to the task of estimating for your project. Once we’re finished, you’ll receive a thorough bid of the products needed to complete the project successfully. Our team will be here to answer questions and troubleshoot issues throughout the entire process.
Project Management
Be as efficient as possible with your time and money by working with Van Meter to track and manage project progress, make adjustments to avoid delays, and keep informed of problems as they arise. From stocked job trailers that assist with logistics management to a team of project management professionals who are always a phone call or email away, we’ll help your project stay on course starting with project estimation clear through to billing reconciliation.
Project Coordination
Project logistics management comes down to details. You need certain products, but maybe not all in the same place – and probably not all at the same time. Working with Van Meter gives you one less thing to worry about. We’ll handle:
- Product orders
- Order tracking and expediting (with status updates sent to you)
- Replacement of damaged or defective equipment
- Change order implementation
- Billing reconciliation
We also offer kitting and drop shipping services to keep products safe and intact until you’re ready for them. Van Meter electrical supply can package certain items together, and then ship them to your jobsite. Our organized product packaging and scheduled shipments make logistics management easier.
Product Delivery
Need materials delivered by someone who knows your jobsite? Our dedicated delivery drivers use piggyback trucks, flatbeds, semis, and sprinter vans to bring you what you need—fast. With $180 million in inventory across 26 electrical supply locations, we make it easy to get the right products, whether you pick up or we bring them to you.
If you need something that isn’t readily available at the electrical supply branch closest to you, we’ll get it from our distribution center. Or we can ship directly from the manufacturer. We even have daily overnight transfer trucks. We ship anywhere in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We also work with all major third-party shippers, such as UPS and FedEx, to negotiate the best shipping rates.
Our new website is live. And it's better than ever.
