3B Supply Model

We start with Suppliers

Indirect material procurement and management is not a core competency for most businesses, yet it impacts the bottom line of all companies globally. 3B Supply has made Integrated Supply accessible to a much larger cross-section of companies.

3B Onsite and Always Available

Every client we work with has a dedicated 3B Procurement Specialist assigned to work at their facility. This person works directly with the client every day to ensure your needs are met and your production runs smoothly.

This is about you

We work with our clients to anticipate your needs today and going forward. We put boots on the ground to work with you daily, and have a complete support team behind the scenes supporting your needs.

3B Supply thinks differently

Traditional purchasing systems, where customers order from hundreds of suppliers, have become increasingly inefficient and costly.
Managing numerous suppliers makes it challenging to establish vendor relationships and nearly impossible to keep up with the paperwork, receiving, inventory levels and reporting.
The era of large purchasing departments, cumbersome quote and purchase order processing, and inadequate inventory management has led to excessive costs.
With the advent of Integrated Supply, more customers are leaving behind the costly traditional model and taking the necessary steps to move forward.

Traditional Model

3B Supply Model

The Traditional Supply Model: High Product Margins, Sales Pressure, and Infrastructure Overhead

In the traditional supply chain model, companies often face inefficiencies that lead to increased costs and operational burdens:

Disconnected purchasing process with complicated order management
Indirect materials considered essential but not strategically driven
Reliance on paper-based communication and manual processes
Accumulation of surplus inventory
Procurement of higher-cost goods and services
Delayed introduction of new products
Decline in internal customer satisfaction
Lack of effective cost tracking measures leads to inefficiencies

3B Supply: A Smarter Supply Chain Model

At 3B Supply, we have redefined the traditional supply chain model to deliver cost efficiency, personalized service, and guaranteed cost savings:

3B Supply Program Managers are fully embedded at the customer site location
A direct 1:1 relationship exists between each 3B Supply employee and customer
Co-location with 3B’s supply chain allows the customer’s site to serve as the distribution hub reducing costs and shipping time
3B Supply imposes a modest product markup on a significantly larger volume of products (10x)
Selling $1 over 1,000 SKUs versus $2 over 100 SKUs results in greater consolidated leverage and competitive advantages ($1,000 > $200)
