Ali Asgar Raja, Founder & CEO, SuppyVan.com says:

“Supply Van undoubtedly has the most developed e-commerce platform of any traditional industrial distributor for MRO products in the region. We are currently enjoying the first mover advantage and our growing inventory and orders are testimony to the fact that there is a growing demand for MRO products and DIY customers.

When it comes to the e-commerce experience, Supply Van does two things really well. For one, the site is intuitive, and very easy to use. We would like people from all walks of life to be able to use the site and fulfill their MRO requirement conveniently and cost effectively. Second, Supply Van is committed to marketing itself and its products. And that explains the number of brands that have associated with us.”

The advent of E-commerce platforms has brought significant changes in the entire MRO distribution network in the region. As MRO sourcing differs from company to company and is depended on factors such as requirements of the number of stock keeping units, business procurement requirements, categories of products and buying frequencies. The traditional procurement processes have various disadvantages and challenges.

Some of the advantages of using e-commerce platforms for MRO distribution includes low product prices, shorter process cycle, enhanced access to information, clarity in transaction processes, improve delivery time to the end-markets, better compliance with approved distributors, consolidate suppliers while increasing competitive choices and allow buyers to work on value-added and strategic tasks.
