Here are 7 Key Factors to consider to help ensure you’re choosing the right industrial power transmission parts provider:

1. Product Inventory & Availability – Do they have the products you need WHEN you need them? What happens if you have an after-hours emergency?
2. Product Expertise – How experienced is their team? Can they answer your questions quickly, correctly, and thoroughly?
3. Engineering Know-How – Do they have seasoned engineers on staff available to help with your application needs?
4. Commitment to Technology – Do they have the latest equipment to help ensure you’re getting quality parts every time?
5. Customization Capabilities/Willingness to Work on Special Projects – Do they only offer “off the shelf” products, or can you trust them to be willing and able to develop a new or modified product for your specific applications?
6. Flexibility – How accommodating are they? Do they have a reasonable minimum order? What’s their shipping cut-off time?
7. Customer Service – Do they understand your needs and ask the right questions? And do they strive to re-earn your business with every order – without taking your business for granted?
