STACI understands the crucial role that supply chain services play in its customers’ businesses, and STACI strives to provide workable solutions to satisfy its customers’ needs. STACI uses open and consistent communication to ensure that its customers have what they need when they need it and at prices they can afford.

 

 

STACI knows that “safety stocks” are expensive and very difficult to reduce. Reduction requires complete and accurate information as well as forecasts on production and procurement. STACI assists its customers in focusing on initiatives that help them to gain and maintain a cost-effective competitive advantage. STACI provides end-to-end supply chain services enabling the optimization of each step within the chain. These services are available to STACI customers with or without inventory ownership. By combining STACI’s internal competencies, the company’s supply chain services allow STACI customers to make better, cost-effective decisions.

 

 

 

The workflow for major business process areas include:

 

• Order fulfillment through proactive visibility and accurate real-time responses
• Sourcing, procurement and inventory management to reduce product costs
• Logistics, transportation and distribution options across multiple modes of transportation, international borders and enterprises
• Information technology to monitor and control inventory

 

Supply chain services go hand in hand with competitive pricing, an ideal all companies need to achieve to remain viable, profitable businesses. STACI helps its customers to reduce costs, not just by unit cost but also by the total cost of ownership. The focus is on the economies of the entire value chain in evaluating its customers’ most important business problems and providing solutions that reduce the total cost of ownership to deliver a continuous return on the customers’ investment.
