Over the years, Unisource has built an impressive list of local and national customers in the BSC field as well as in manufacturing, retail and logistics.
Some of these customers we even share at times.
Today we are going to explore some of the solutions that Unisource provides to a large international BSC servicing a variety of facility types.

This organization was looking for a partner that could provide a
single source supplies program across North
America.
Unisource fit the bill with 48 locations in
the US and an additional 18 in
Canada.
This organization also needed a partner that could respond quickly with the products they needed, near at hand.
In addition to local inventories in our 66 DC’s, Unisource offers specialized start-up inventories in eight strategically located distribution centers to support large scale start-ups with next day or two-day service to most major markets through a hub and spoke network.
At the beginning of the program, Unisource successfully launched over 1000 customer locations on a single day.

This organization needed a partner that stocked the specific brands and products that are approved for use by their corporate leadership.
Sticking to the program and utilizing specific brands and items provides the client with additional financial incentives that exceed seven figures annually.
The previous supplier, a network of independent distributors, was unable to manage compliance to the corporate program.
Our strategic sourcing team was able to further improve the national program by introducing new suppliers to the organization.

As a North American service provider, this organization needed systemic controls in place that limited spend in the field only to those key items.
Additionally, they needed easy online ordering and a budgeting function down to the ship to location.
All of these requirements are supported with our eBusiness platform, UnisourceLink.
UnisourceLink insures program compliance by showing only the corporate approved items in the catalog on our ordering platform.
