To our industry’s and our economy’s gain, commercial and residential construction is exponentially expanding. However, this growth in the construction industry has also created an adverse effect on one of the most important aspects that keeps the industry functioning smoothly: the construction supply chain.
As construction projects continue to rise, general contractors’ needs for construction materials and supplies have also increased, which has created a surge of demand that can weigh on the supply management, including the replenishment of supplies.
Had your fill of waiting for trucks to replenish your gases and hardgoods? Linde’s Total Supply Management Program can help minimize the time spent waiting for deliveries. Designed to maximize uptime, reduce site traffic and lower costs, this innovative program combines a tailored on-site gas supply and hardgoods system to simplify construction supply chain management and help ensure your team has what they need, when they need it.
With our Total Supply Management Program, you benefit from on-site gas supply solutions that begin with custom packaged gas plans and purpose-built on-site fill plants. As your supplier. we offer plans, tailored to your exact need, that can range from individual cylinders and packs to custom microbulk systems, gas generators, point of use, gas delivery and bulk storage systems. No matter how large or complicated the need, Linde provides engineering and design services to create a plan that supports your specific processes, improves productivity and increases your bottom line.
Linde‘s Total Supply Management Program provides an uninterrupted supply of gases and keeps the work flowing. Once in place, the system creates a closed loop system, reducing many of the pitfalls associated with cylinders and assets coming and going. Cylinders stay at your site and are filled at your jobsite. The closed site system provides greater security and increases the accuracy of inventories, and this accuracy directly impacts your bottom line. With the Linde system in place, the chance for loss-of-use billing is reduced, saving you thousands of dollars.
With Linde’s Total Supply Management Program, we provide a consumable and hardgoods inventory program that is simple and does not create additional work for your construction operation. Just take what you need, and we’ll manage the supply and charge for what is used. The program is designed to help you keep your people working and building instead of counting or waiting. It’s the smart, on-site way to increase productivity and cost efficiencies.
Linde’s SENTRY™ cylinder tracking system helps to ensure accurate on-site accounting of assets and excels in complex situations with multiple locations or cost centers. The SENTRY system uses a scannable barcode tied to a cylinder’s serial number and multiple scan checkpoints to provide precise division among your cost centers, inventories and billing. As an added benefit of the closed loop system, Linde’s SENTRY system impacts your bottom line directly through simplified billing.
