Inefficient maintenance operations affect every corner of your campus, from the cafeteria to the classroom to the residence halls. With SDI’s solutions for MRO supply chain management, you can increase maintenance efficiency and streamline maintenance operations campus-wide. Leading institutions like the University of Pennsylvania and the University of North Carolina, Greensboro are already reaping the benefits of an SDI-optimized MRO supply chain.
Global Control: The Secret to Maintenance Efficiency

Our solutions centralize all of your maintenance supplies and related data – giving your facilities manager global control of your facility’s supplies. We’ve even developed an advanced mobile technology solution to streamline operations across your campus. It connects maintenance workers to work-order and inventory management systems via wireless, hand-held devices, enabling remote parts ordering, reporting, and work-order management.

With all of this control comes:

  • Higher staff productivity — SDI customers typically achieve order-fill rates of up to 99%, so workers no longer have to waste time waiting for supplies or running to local hardware stores for parts.
  • Improved student satisfaction — The more efficient your maintenance operations, the faster maintenance requests are fulfilled. 
  • Increased referrals — Satisfied, happy students lead to positive word-of-mouth and more recommendations.
  • Lower operating costs — Eliminate inventory surplus, excess paperwork, obsolete stock, and other costly inefficiencies. We’ve helped customers save millions in the first year of the program.
  • More informed decisions — Detailed management reports, inventory forecasting, and historical usage data arm you with the information you need to allocate budget dollars more wisely.
