When we implemented the KILCO supply chain services process, we don’t have the cash outlay upfront. We get the consistent deliveries. I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to do with stuff that’s leftover, goes back into inventory, we get credit and we’ll see it on the next job site. It’s really just a very efficient process.
It’s challenging from other companies to get the right information at the beginning with KILCO rather than having to contact three to five people at every company to determine how much product they’ll need. We have one source, we know they have the right numbers so we know what to make and ship.
As a producer, there’s a million different things that are going on every day. If you’re able to actually get some of those items off of our plate, like inventory management, and allow somebody else, such as KILCO to take care of that for you. Then we can do what we do best, and that’s produce chemicals.
