The shipping and delivery of fasteners and related hardware is a particularly significant part of a wide range of construction, infrastructure, and tower/pole applications. A well-thought out shipping program can ensure the delivery of the necessary products to the worksite on a scheduled basis. This effort will ensure a reliable supply of fasteners and hardware when and where they are needed. In addition, being able to carefully plan and schedule deliveries can also reduce shipping costs.
At All-Pro Fasteners, we ship directly to worksites every workday. These shipments usually include kitted hardware with custom labeling based on customer requirements. An example of that type of labeling is found when a separate mix of product is packaged for differing assembly applications within the same project.
A program for customized kitting, labeling, and shipping is often the result of a coordinated effort between various customer departments – operations, construction, and procurement – all working in collaboration with All-Pro’s industry experts. An example of this type of program is found in numerous wind farm and T&D structure applications throughout the U.S., where All-Pro shipping and kitting services contributed to the efficiency of construction and assembly efforts.
One of All-Pro’s experts in this area, Mary Amerson, points to the critical nature of the company’s relationship with the customer, “A truly efficient and reliable shipping and kitting program is the result of quality communication and collaboration between all parties involved. I’m proud to say that many of our customers have complimented our company on its knowledge of product, customer shipping and kitting, along with our ongoing responsiveness to their needs.”
