How we make it happen.
Enhancing operational efficiency
Every volume customer has a single point of contact and multiple ways to contact that person. Concentric also believes in the power of face-to-face communication. Our sales representatives frequently consult in person with all our volume clients.
ADVANCED INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
We operate our warehouses on First In First Out (FIFO) principles. Concentric also uses the latest technology and barcoding to create a virtual warehouse that enables computer-controlled efficiencies. Our virtual warehouse system knows the location and age of every piece of inventory and creates pick lists that maximize efficiency of product and work flow through each facility.
RAPID NATIONWIDE DISTRIBUTION
Through careful management and integration into our customers’ sales forecasting processes, Concentric anticipates demand and keeps our warehouses stocked adequately to provide Just In Time (JIT) supply to our customers.
FAST & EFFICIENT PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION
Delivery capabilities are also enhanced by a state-of-the-art Enterprise Resource Procurement (ERP) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems. Concentric’s electronic delivery and distribution tracking systems are integrated into many of our customers’ information technology systems, giving them instant access to detailed shipping information.
TAILORED SOLUTIONS
We work with our long-standing global manufacturing partners to bring customers exceptional quality, value and tailored solutions. Concentric takes responsibility for every piece and part being manufactured at the highest quality and to each wholesale and OEM customer’s exacting standards. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed. No excuses..
CUSTOM-MADE PRODUCTS
Concentric works directly with wholesale and OEM customers to develop variations of existing products and entirely new components to meet their unique needs. For more information on how Concentric can create new components that help drive revenue, contact us today.Our History
