Supply Chain Services

Many companies are challenged to stay focused on their core strategy when supply chain issues overwhelm their operations and administration. When your company invests too much time managing the supply chain, it can take away from time spent on business strategy.

WESCO helps manage your supply chain by leveraging our deep supplier relationships, utilizing multiple distribution resources, building assemblies for your production floor, and engaging our knowledgeable team. When your employees are not investing valuable time on supply chain logistics, they can focus on the core competencies of your business.

Vendor Managed Inventory

Reduce layers in the supply chain, increase stock visibility, and decrease overall stock levels by implementing this supply chain practice where designated inventory is monitored and managed by the vendor.

On-Site Job Trailer Solutions

Our jobsite solution delivers a customized trailer which can be tailored to your project requirements with shelving, a work area, and electrical and communication hookups. Products are then bin-mapped and checked in to the trailer to finalize the process. A WESCO representative helps you identify the best job trailer configuration for your site and project.
