Here at Smith-Cooper International, it’s hard to put your finger on a single feature that
significantly benefits our customers; however, we feel we have only just begun to see the benefits of our new ProPack system. The standardized package size among several commodity lines makes palletizingfor shipping and storage very easy while reducing the warehouse space wasted on ‘storingair’. We’ve sized the box to better fit on a pallet and filled it up with fittings instead of air. The packaging benefit is most effectively
realized when applied to the products that we market through our Industrial PVF & Fire Protection Division. Everyone knows that cast iron threaded and ductile iron threaded fittings are heavy, however, with the ProPack system the master carton is a more manageable size and weight which is good news for your warehouse staff. The master carton size is exactly right for perfectly cubingout a pallet as demonstrated in this photo.
When we discuss doingbusiness with a We’ve also color coded the individual product
lines so that you can see what you’ve got on a pallet from across the warehouse, which reduces pickingerrors. Each carton has a comprehensive label on two sides of a corner which makes it convenient to read. Each label has a photograph of the fittinginside the box, further communicatingto warehouse staff what’s inside. For warehouses that have automated
receiving and shipping, each box has a barcode for standard master packaging, and an industry standard SPIN barcode which allows for fully automated warehouses to take further advantage of ProPack. Our customers agree that commodity items
packaged utilizing ProPack are easier to see, easier to find, easier to read, easier to scan, which makes them easier to pick, pack and ship. When time is the most valuable commodity, it’s easy to see how these ProPack features and benefits can work to reduce operatingexpense.
potential customer we refer to what we offer them as their ‘program’. This ‘program’ refers to their pricing, certainly, but additionally it refers to the value added side of doingbusiness with Smith-Cooper International. The program might mean special palletizingfor one customer, while it could mean special shippingrequirements for another. We don’t ask customers to conform to a set of rigid ‘Terms & Conditions’ which are difficult to meet. We listen to our customers and then adapt to the way they do business. Combine that with our new ProPack system and you’ve got the ingredients to a successful master distributor-wholesaler partnership. We like to think of ourselves as more than a traditional vendor and we foster good working relationships with our customers. If you’ve tried the rest and are ready for
change, give us a call and we’ll let our ‘program’ speak for itself. In other words, ‘There’s more in the box’ when you order from Smith-Cooper.
