Critical Stock as-a-Service

Sometimes the Smallest Parts
Can Create the Biggest Screw-ups

Uptime is everything. When revenue-generating assets go down, don’t get stuck without a bounce-back strategy.

  • Increased stress on the FM team. Longer hours. Additional repair and maintenance costs. Putting out fires to repair critical assets over other work. It all leads to more delays and a backlog of work orders.

  • Disruptions to service. Longer wait times. Reduced quality eroding the customer experience. It all leads to decreased customer satisfaction and loyalty. In other words, lost business.

  • Lost revenue. Increased repair costs. Premature asset replacement. Decreased productivity impacting the bottom line and damaging the brand reputation, potentially leading to legal or regulatory/health safety compliance issues.

Critical Stock as-a-Service: Optimizing Your Critical Spares Inventory for Better Business Outcomes

SDI’s Critical Stock-as-a-Service (CSaaS) solution is designed to help organizations ensure the smooth operation of their facilities by minimizing downtime, reducing maintenance costs, and improving the overall reliability of their operations. With CSaaS, we identify critical assets and their critical spares–whatever critical looks like to your particular organization and performance goals. From there, we create a forecast for annual demand and analyze the safety stock requirements for each spare. Our secure storage options ensure that your critical spares are readily available when you need them.

  • Asset Inventory Management: With CSaaS, facilities and maintenance managers keep a comprehensive inventory of critical assets and their associated critical spares across multiple sites. This makes it easier to track asset performance and optimize maintenance strategies with supply lead times, resulting in increased uptime and reliability.

  • Procurement and Stock Management: CSaaS executes the procurement and stocking of critical spares, reducing the workload for facilities managers. With CSaaS facilities leverage SDI’s deep relationships with suppliers to ensure the timely delivery of spares and reduce costs.

  • On-Demand Availability: CSaaS ensures on-demand availability of critical spares, either on-site or off-site, to minimize downtime and ensure the smooth operation of the facility. This reduces the risk of lost revenue and ensures a consistent customer experience across multiple sites.

  • Data Management and Reporting: CSaaS ensures transparency and accuracy in ongoing spend and inventory data for critical spares, including usage and demand patterns. SDI also provides reporting on inventory levels, demand trends, and other key metrics, making it easier for facilities managers to make data-driven decisions.

  • Compliance and Security: CSaaS ensures all critical spares are stored and managed in compliance with relevant regulations and standards. We also provide secure storage options to protect against loss, theft, or damage, reducing risk and liability.
