What to look for when choosing an equipment provider (1/5)

Multiple Suppliers

You have many choices when deciding which equipment providers to work with. After all, they all should have quality items and some level of service. However, there are certain, specific things that I would look for.

One of them is a provider that has relationships and authorized to sell a variety of lines. It’s ok to specialize but having access to several manufacturers is important. Your needs might change or grow over time. Different projects will require different solutions. One manufacturer could be having issues with the supply chain or labor shortages.

I have one U.S. manufacturer who makes a magnesium appliance dolly. They couldn’t ship the product because do you know where a lot of our magnesium comes from? Ukraine.

In short, don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. Customers should have options, different price points to choose from, etc.
