Through our network of
Bearing & Transmission branches, customers have
access to our extensive inventory. Our network
of 23 branches located across Western Canada provides local inventories for our customers
when they need it. In addition, our distribution
center located in Winnipeg, MB is the main hub
in our inventory distribution network. Stocked
in our 30,000 sq. ft. facility, replenishment
inventory is available over night to almost any
where in Western Canada. Our distribution centre
provides regular stock replenishment to our
branches and can also ship direct to our
customers on an emergency basis. This service is
designed specifically with the customer in mind,
to prevent unnecessary delays when a customer is
in a breakdown situation.
Bearing &
Transmission utilizes a consolidated freight
management system to minimize freight costs for
our customers. This managed freight system
offers regularly scheduled pick-ups and
drop-offs and allows for key drops at certain
locations to better ensure the availability of
inventory for the customer.
Working in
conjunction with our freight management system
is our Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
ordering system. This system is fully automated
and linked to our computer system. It allows for
information such as purchase orders to be sent
electronically between Bearing & Transmission
and our customers. For the customer, it is a
fast, cost-effective means of procurement and
inventory control to help ensure that they have
the right part at the right time.
