Challenges

  1. Long Lead Times
    The large hydraulic distributor’s former pedal supplier consistently failed to meet deadlines or adhere to reasonable lead times, falling short of expectations causing significant disruptions and additional costs in their supply chain.
  2. Product Shortage
    Before partnering with QP, the ditributor faced a major challenge of not receiving enough pedal supplies, resulting in difficulties meeting customer orders.

Solution

Learning more about the distributor’s operation and goals, QP created a stocking program utilizing a custom pedal to help improve lead times, initiate better pricing and ultimately improve installation processes.

  1. Superior Lead Times
    QP‘s solution of creating a tailor-made stocking program helped to eliminate delivery concerns as QP was keeping and monitoring stock for the distributor, proactively ensuring they would always have the pedals they needed when they needed them.
  2. Better Pricing
    QP recommended an upgraded pedal compared to their previous product, but because of the strategic supplier relationship they were building with the distributor, QP was also able to save them money.
  3. Installation Improvement
    QP’s made-to-order pedal solution allowed the distributor to improve their installation process due to the modified design of the pedal leading to higher efficiency, productivity and product quality.

Conclusion

QP provided this hydraulic distributor with a personalized stocking program featuring a customized pedal that surpassed their expectations. This solution from QP resulted in enhanced lead times, more competitive pricing, and streamlined installation processes for them. By choosing QP, the distributor not only gained a new pedal supplier but also a strategic partner in optimizing their supply chain.
