Challenge

SF&B LLC’s services both federal and SLED entities. Unfortunately federal and SLED entities have different procurement cycles, with varying fulfillment times that many times result in long delays. Due to these requirements, SF&B LLC cannot store overhead for long periods of time without incurring costs, so it’s imperative they partner with a manufacturer that offers fast lead times, TAA compliant products and touchless bulk ordering options.

Solution

SF&B LLC’s Account Manager, Paul LaRock, was new to the procurement portion of his role at SF&B LLC. He knew he could purchase bulk cabling from platforms like Amazon and Cables2Go (C2G), but he needed a platform that offered both bulk discounts and reliable shipping times. A former coworker recommended Monoprice to Paul, so he decided to apply for a business account.

Impact

Today, SF&B LLC trusts Monoprice as an industry-leading supplier to fulfill their government contracts. Paul and his team members love that they don’t have to question the integrity of products or shipping time. In addition, Paul loves his ability to order on his own without the support of an Account Manager since he has many repeat purchases, while also benefiting from additional membership rewards and discounts, a benefit e-commerce platforms like Amazon do not offer.
