Ferguson's MRO experts source and procure in excess of $450 million in material each year covering the full range of indirect material needs. Their services are used by some of the best companies in the United States, who monitor their performance against world class standards and objectives. In addition, Ferguson has developed direct sourcing access to a wide range of items from manufactures not involved with its traditional distribution business and can use these contacts to help companies simplify their external supply channels.
The FIS Tool Management Program is founded on the concept of "Total Objectivity", where the customer has the final say in choosing the item and brand provided by FIS. FIS works continuously to create "a level playing field" for suppliers so that the "best item for the job" is available and chosen for each application.
