Material sourcing

The first step in the flooring process is the procurement of materials. Many companies strive to lower costs by reducing the number of parties involved in the material transaction. However, key services must still be performed to get the correct quantity of materials at the best price from the manufacturer’s point of origin to the jobsite destinations.

Inside Edge offers three unique approaches to assist you in the sourcing of your flooring materials on a national basis. All three options can potentially reduce your material costs; you simply choose the level of service you desire.

• Turnkey Purchasing - With Inside Edge as your single source supplier negotiating on a national basis, we reduce your number of transactions and can often lower the purchase price of your materials.
  
  
• Material Management Services - Inside Edge supports your direct purchase of materials from the manufacturer by providing the required services to ensure that the right quantity of materials is ordered, shipped and delivered on time.
  
  
• Inventory Management - To complement the direct purchase of your primary flooring products, Inside Edge procures all other products, warehouses them, then bundles and ships the correct quantity of every material to each jobsite as scheduled.
