When we set out to create a new way of managing electrical surplus or non-moving inventory we knew we would be turning to online technologies to assist us. From the beginning, we aimed to enhance the collaboration between suppliers, distributors and end-users. By utilizing some of the most tested technologies and methods we’ve developed an innovative platform that enables members to publicly share information on their electrical products and services. Since its development, we have recognized many benefits of doing things in a new way, here are the most impactful benefits.
99.999% Uptime and 24/7 Web Accessibility
When it comes to listing products and services the old way of doing things is limited to email and telephone communications on a 9-5 schedule. This way of doing business can be slow and frustrating. Listing Products and Services should be easy and as such our platform is designed to allow members to list products and services at any time. Furthermore, members are also able to browse through our available ever-changing inventory at their convenience. The web platform is cloud-based with nearly 100% uptime and it can be accessed from any location with the internet whether it be a computer at home, a workstation at work, or a mobile device on the go. Our platform makes it easy for suppliers, distributors and end-users to list offers and interact with other members when and where it best suits them.
Government Spending and Public Utilities Savings
Governments have a fiscal responsibility to drive long-term savings for taxpayers including electrical infrastructure and utilities. It is the responsibility of these public organizations to implement programs, technologies and efficiencies that protect people, the environment and the taxpayers’ investment. Similar to environmental waste all public organizations are accountable for any financial waste in their spending or loss revenues and this includes the costs associated with surplus and non-moving inventory. Our platform can be utilized at no cost to reduce aged inventory which translates to savings for taxpayers.
Lowering Waste and the Carbon Footprint
Surplus or non-moving inventory is not only a financial burden to companies but it may be hazardous to the environment upon disposal. This is due to potential energy requirements and possible toxic side effects from breaking down or recycling the materials. Being environmentally friendly means that organizations make a conscious effort to reduce their negative impacts on the environment. We can assist organizations to meet their goals and objectives as stated in their environmental policies. The electriSource platform can assist organizations in reducing their carbon footprint and reducing waste in our landfills by listing aged inventory for resale.
For example, a leading public utility’s Environmental Policy states that they are, “… uniquely positioned to facilitate the transition towards a low-carbon economy and help our customers, partners and suppliers achieve their climate change goals” further adding that, “We will identify and evaluate environmental risks to minimize negative impacts to the environment.” and “We will integrate environmental sustainability considerations into our decisions in order that we, among other goals: prevent pollution, mitigate and adapt to climate changes, optimize resource consumption, and promote environmental stewardship.”
electriSource provides organizations with these positive outcomes and more through member enrollment and the creation of a virtual warehouse where members can then list their inventory.
