Company Overview

distributors of electrical products and
equipment, connected solutions, lighting,
digital tools, power distribution, and
automation & control systems. Mayer serves
contractors, industrials, OEMs, integrators,
institutions, government entities, utility
providers, commercial businesses, and
residential customers through its 68 branch
locations in 12 states.
Challenges
In the midst of a highly competitive market,
Mayer was looking for a cost-effective way to
maintain their industry-leading service levels
without adding additional working capital.
Mayer also faced unexpected fluctuations
in demand due to the global economic crisis
and increased lead times due to universal
material shortages. Mayer searched for
an intelligent supply chain planning solution
to sense and respond faster to dynamic
market conditions. Searching for a solution
to streamline planning, optimize inventory
investments, and maintain service levels,
Mayer turned to GAINS.
Transformation Objectives
After an in-depth market evaluation,
Mayer selected the GAINS Supply Chain
Performance Optimization platform,
to reduce inventory and automate planning
tasks with integrated work flows. Freed up
from time consuming manual tasks,
the Mayer team was able to invest more time
supporting customers offering more
responsive services. With better planning,
synchronized inventory, and improved service,
Mayer increased bottom line profitability
by more than $2,000,000 in less than
12 months from go-live with GAINS.
