We recognise that the basic table stake for doing business in industrial technology is keeping Engineering happy. We guarantee that we will get the equipment you need to you when we say we will. Our willingness to take a financial penalty if we miss the mark should give you confidence that this is a commitment, not a marketing pitch.
Our goal is to become your preferred source of equipment. Beyond that, though, we work hard to create a similar response across the other company functions that have skin in the game when it comes to purchasing what you need to create frontline solutions. In our experience, it's as likely that procurement, supply chain and finance will recommend us to you as it is that you will push for them to partner with us.
Whilst it is true that getting the right equipment to your frontline teams when they need it is the sine qua non of our business, we also take our responsibility to work seamlessly with procurement very seriously. We look to leverage our category expertise to unlock value, both short and longer term, for your team. Our focus on identifying ways to isolate and remove friction and waste in the process, and automate as much as appropriate, is informed by our commitment to Lean principles.
Our Partners Program is designed to meet those challenges head on. Our focus is on Total Enterprise Cost reduction which involves scrutiny, and reduction, of cost and risk far beyond the invoice. We stabilize spend variability and offer payment options that smooth cash flow volatility. Our value proposition, at root, is that we will provide an opportunity to shift your industrial technologies purchasing operation from a cost centre to a legitimate profit centre.
For those already working in manufacturing, successful certification and training programs are helping to provide practical and relevant certifications such as industrial networking: a must-have skill for today’s manufacturer.
The economic analysis finds that a business can expect to see a return of £49 for every £1 invested in automation.
I welcome their [the cabinet's] commitment to the development of an industrial strategy for Britain...We are reasonably optimistic at the end of the day common sense will prevail from both sides
