EDI Inventory vs. Factory Direct
Why use EDI inventory rather than factory direct shipments?

Here are six business-enhancing reasons:

Jobsite Space - There is not always enough space on the jobsite to store products. Utilizing EDI’s inventory eliminates this problem.

Just-In-Time Delivery - With the rising cost of raw materials, metals such as copper have quickly become targets for theft. Utilizing EDI’s inventory allows you to take delivery of the material "just in time" for use—thereby reducing the possibility of jobsite theft.

Reliable Delivery - Who hasn't experienced problems with unreliable deliveries associated with LTL carriers? By using EDI’s inventory, you’re able to receive the right product and quantity when you need it.

Quick Delivery Turnaround – You can’t anticipate every need that will arise when ordering for a job. By using EDI's extensive inventory, you can count on quick deliveries during those "emergency situations.”

Custom Lengths - EDI can provide custom cable lengths when needed. Cuts that might normally take a week or more from the factory to ship can be turned around in mere days, or less by EDI.

Jobsite Inventory Management - EDI can handle excess inventory from your jobsite and quickly take care of material returns that would otherwise drag out if handled through factory channels.
