4.E150 New BBI Ready Mill Program
Brighton-Best International has launched an online Ready Mill Program allowing its customers to purchase directly from stock at its quality assured manufacturers, saving time and money.
ntroduced in the USA just over 12 months ago, and upgraded in July 2012, the BBI Ready Mill Program is now being offered by its European market operation based in the West Midlands, UK. The Ready Mill Program is based on the constant flow of inventory being produced and held ready for shipment by BBI’s best suppliers. Out of 10,000MT held for its US branches, 1,000MT is being made available for BBI’s European operation. Brighton Best highlights that the Ready Mill Program works because distributors are able

to achieve cost savings, greater inventory control, elimination of production lead-time, and increased cash flow as payment will not be expected up front, it will be allowed within 30 days from arrival at port. Mike Churchill, branch manager at Brighton Best explains: “The UK Ready Mill Program was launched in November last year with a variety of hex head bolts in diameters M4-M36 and in lengths from 35mm-200mm. We will soon launch Inch bolting and nuts. Customers are able to order full containers directly from our warehouse in the Far East, cutting lead times and saving money by benefitting from our advantageous cost prices.” “By logging onto the Brighton-Best website, customers are able to see product on the floor
in Taiwan and then build containers right off the website and organise shipment. Orders are processed automatically, meaning there’s no manufacturing time, just pull the pallets required and ship them.” For full containers UK customers will have no additional costs or legwork, prices will be CIF to
customers door and customs will be taken care of. For European customers, prices will be based on CIF terms to local port. As an added option, BBI will allow UK customers a minimum order of 10 pallets to be shipped to BBI’s warehouse in the West Midlands. The customer will only be responsible for onward freight. Mike points out: “We are changing the supply channel through the Ready Mill Program, meaning customers no longer have to order big commodity items at the lowest cost and then sit on stock for six or eight months at a time. From receipt of order, delivery should take place in 4 – 6 weeks. To discuss this further please contact us.”
