| There are times when having a fully outsourced staffed storeroom doesn’t make sense. Maybe you have a small facility, with a small MRO spend, where full outsourcing can’t be cost-justified. Maybe there is a union environment where the labor agreement doesn’t allow for outsourcing. Or maybe you have loyal employees already in place who just need some extra tools to take their job performance to the next level. This is where SDI’s Hosted Solution can help.
Our Hosted Solution delivers the same advanced technology, proven processes, and central support of our 100% outsourcing solution. There’s just one difference — rather than providing on-site SDI experts at your facility, we leave the management of your newly optimized MRO supply chain in your hands. We’ll manage the data, procurement, and sourcing functions from our central services team and provide a Customer Service Center to support your personnel in the running of the storeroom. Or, we can provide any combination of these services in a “building-block” approach.

Your Custom, Electronic Catalog |
| As part of our Hosted Solution, we’ll build a personalized, electronic catalog with all the SKUs your organization uses on a regular basis. The catalog provides direct access to the MRO products and information you need right from your desktop via the Internet. Gone are the days of searching through overwhelming volumes of standard supply catalogs. With SDI’s custom catalog solution, you can find and order MRO parts and supplies — all in just a few clicks.
In addition to a custom catalog that enables you to procure material in a more efficient, cost-effective manner, we also provide bar coding and scanners to facilitate the movement of materials in and out of the storeroom.
Want to add inventory management? We’ll provide modules and mobile technology to track inventory in the storeroom. Our supply chain planners in our central services group work with your personnel to optimize plant inventory levels and minimize total inventory needed, without creating stock-outs that could lead to plant downtime.
