Industrial sales professionals, are you looking for options to leverage your skills and network? Challenges across most of manufacturing are impacting orders, order volumes, lead times, etc. Responsible manufacturers are focused on adapting to customer needs and managing cash. Procurement leaders are heavily focused on terms and accommodations for reduced MOQ's and lead times from their existing suppliers. They may not have the resources to identify alternative suppliers better aligned with their current order quantity and lead time needs. This presents an opportunity for entrepreneurial sales professionals to link available capability with unmet need. If this is you, contact us at chemistry@graniteville.net about our 3rd party commission chemical sales program. #chemicals #sales #commission #3rdparty #industrialsales #entrepreneur

Post COVID supply chain issues across all manufacturing value chains have experienced significant shifts in the "rules of engagement" for supply chain planners and P&L owners. Raw material delivery windows that used to be consistently 4-5 weeks now range from 4-8 weeks or worse. Simultaneously, widespread impacts to demand are causing reduced average order sizes, and B2B customers looking for more just-in-time options. Everyone is managing cash! Long-standing supply solutions for smaller quantity products, like distribution or inventory programs, are rapidly becoming unserviceable based upon the cash management expectations. How do your order-to-deliver functions preserve available sales in the smaller portfolio products without absorbing more operating inefficiency and cash deployed while overall order quantities shrink? For our supply chain colleagues in chemicals and formulation Graniteville's manufacturing services may be able to help. Our ability to receive chemicals in bulk and formulate directly to small batch can help you maintain and optimize your product wheel efficiency by outsourcing the smaller batch products you would like preserved in your portfolio. Our quick turnaround capability can provide value to your customers by allowing them to manage their inventories closer reducing their inventory carry. #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #supplychainplanning #supplychainsolutions #chemicals #chemicalprocessing #chemicalmanufacturing #chemicalsupplier #outsourcing #privatelabel #workingcapital #inventorymanagement #inventoryoptimization #inventorycontrol #justintime #smallbatch #cashmanagement #cashflowmanagement #cashflow
