CASE STUDY
Customer
Residential solar contractor.
Challenge
A solar contractor was looking for a supplier to match its current and future geographic footprint and offer a system its employees could use to order supplies from the road. The supplier also sought to ensure it had warehouse stock available to serve its customer’s daily replenishment needs.
Solution
Wesco built an impactful solution, using our eStock inventory management and procurement system, that scaled with the contractor’s growth, enabled inventory control and applied job costing. The eStock software provided a pick-ticket system to manage both Wesco-supplied and customer-owned materials.
Result
The customer reduced inventory in its warehouses from a one-month supply to a one-week supply due to improved material allocations and usage visibility. In addition, each solar technician eliminated 40-60 minutes of wait time because the truck stock and project materials are now staged and ready for pickup.
Save time, material management effort and maximize overall productivity with Wesco’s eSTOCK Solution.
