Our $24 million inventory, the largest in the region, means that you can trust us to have the products you need, when you need them. If your plans call for vendor reduction, our extensive offering of complementary products makes it easy to centralize your purchases with a single source.

Equipment rationalization helps you justify purchases more quickly. French Gerleman offers flexible programs that may allow you to free up capital by moving specific equipment purchases into your operating expenses. We'll help you

• Evaluate leasing and owning alternatives with dedicated inventory options
• Eliminate unneeded or obsolete parts
• Substitute more cost-effective parts
• Eliminate spare-part depreciation and obsolescence

Reduce procurement costs with integrated supply. Our integrated supply capability means you have single-source access to electrical supplies; datacom products; power transmission; industrial supplies; and plumbing/PVF, welding and safety products through our own inventory and those of our industry trading partners. Having a single source - and a single invoice - can reduce your overall inventory costs, as well as significantly simplify your purchasing, receiving and accounting processes. In addition, you'll have an established vendor-of-record for emergencies and expedites.

We'll help you meet preference program goals. If your business has annual preference program goals for purchases and billings, French Gerleman can help you meet them through our strategic partnerships with minority-owned enterprises.
