Case Study: Reducing Vendor Costs

A large, well-known bakery operates multiple baking and distribution facilities worldwide. It takes hundreds of suppliers and vendors to keep their baking lines moving, and every additional order adds complexity and costs to their operations. To simplify its operational processes, the facility began seeking solutions to reduce vendor costs while maintaining its existing Ammeraal equipment. 

Knowing that the bakery was looking for a way to reduce vendor costs, Motion Conveyance Solutions offered a unique solution. Since Motion distributes many brands of industrial equipment and conveyor belting systems, including Ammeraal, the customer could consolidate their ordering process while keeping access to the suppliers needed to maintain their bakery operations.

This trilateral agreement between the bakery, Ammeraal, and Motion Conveyance Solutions is mutually beneficial to all three parties. First, the baking facility is able to reduce its number of industrial vendors, which improves ordering efficiencies, holds the line on belt material price, and lowers costs. Second, Ammeraal can continue providing belt products to a valued customer while focusing on its core manufacturing business. Third, Motion Conveyance Solutions manages individual belt orders as a part of the corporate account agreement and provides additional fabrication services.
