Why Direct Sourcing Reduces Cost in Industrial Safety Supply Chains?

Safety is a top priority in my industrial world. Safety gear is a must, from hard hats to gloves. But what if you could ensure that this safety equipment is not only of the highest standard but also budget-friendly. Therefore they reduce the costs of supply chain increased industrial safety can be a by using one of them: The direct sourcing. 

Streamlining the supply chain process

There's always legwork before we can dive into the fun part of getting safety supplies. The manufacturer creates the product, then intermediaries buy it from a distributor and, at last, the end-user buys its. Each one of his steps is a new time and cost factor. But with direct sourcing, they can work directly with manufacturers in order to procure the Emergency Shower that they need. MERNUS, by removing middlemen from the equation, is facilitating safety supplies to reach the end-user in a much more systematic way. 

Removal of intermediaries for cost reduction

Safety supplies are expensive and require regulation, which is exacerbated by middlemen (distributors/wholesalers) according to Himanshoo. They absorb the markups required to sustain a profit, causing MERNUS to pay more for its Safety Equipment products. Since MERNUS works straight with manufacturers they can get rid of all these middlemen and their mark-ups. Not only will this save them money but it also means that MERNUS is getting a fair price for their safety supplies. 

Enabling greater sourcing transparency and visibility

Because MERNUS works directly with manufacturers they can have better control and know first hand who is sourcing their products. They know exactly who supplies them with their safety gear so they can make sure that they fulfil the highest quality requirements for the same. This transparency helps to establish doubtless that MERNUS is providing the best Eyewash Series products for its staff/unemployed as well as creating trust with their customers. Not only does direct sourcing save MERNUS millions of dollars, but they also rest easy in knowing that the safety supplies they've purchased are all high quality. 

Eliminating mark-ups and extra costs

The biggest advantage of direct sourcing is the removal of mark-ups and other costs. This allows MERNUS to negotiate directly for the best prices with manufacturers. In this way, MERNUS saves the cost of their safety product also gives this benefit to its customers. As we purchase directly from the manufacturer and there are no middle agents in the way, MERNUS can make sure that customers are paying as little extra for their safety supplies. 

Improve supplier relationships to enable better pricing opportunities

By working together directly with manufacturers, MERNUS can have a strong relationship with their suppliers. Any of these relationships may have pricing edges that can be leveraged for discounts whether on safety supplies or otherwise and are a less attractive target due to the reduced opportunity. MERNUS negotiates on lower price levels and best options with suppliers, as a result of their close relationship. Not only does this downgrade save MERNUS money but also their workers are getting the best they have to offer. 

In short, the direct approach is a saver for industrial safety supply chains. MERNUS is able to cut costs and protect their workers with high-quality safety supplies through cutting out middlemen, increasing transparency, removing mark-ups in the supply chain process and enhancing supplier relationships. To best meet their needs via efficient and affordable safety solutions, direct sourcing is the optimal solution.
