Our Solutions
Streamlined Purchasing
When doing business with CAPP, customers can expect a streamlined and customer-centric experience. As a true single point of contact for products, customers can delegate their procurement process to our experienced team, giving them the ability to purchase products across a wide scope of industries that are typically very segmented, all from one source. CAPP also develops technology to support customers, including online, EDI, and catalog ordering which enable customers to maximize efficiency.
Product Sourcing
We are dedicated to sourcing all products, even if they fall outside our core offerings. Our “never say no” approach means that we will exhaust all efforts to quote products, rather than putting the burden on the customer to look elsewhere. We understand the importance of convenience and vendor consolidation for our customers, and we go the extra mile to ensure these needs are met. With no order minimums, any customer can take advantage of CAPP’s unmatched sourcing capabilities and competitive prices.
Product Database
CAPP’s database of over 6 million products is an ever-growing testament to what we have built over our 70+ years in business. Instilling the importance of detail throughout our training, our sales team adds cross-references and technical details to product records on the fly as they encounter new information. This database helps our team serve customers fast and accurately. It is also the foundation for our website and catalog channels, which enable customers to self-serve and get access to detailed product information, pricing, and availability.
Substantial Inventory in Stock
We maintain a comprehensive inventory that is customer-driven and proactive of industry trends. Unlike the vast majority of suppliers, we don’t solely rely on the just-in-time (JIT) model. Instead, we strategically forecast our product lines, maintaining substantial inventory that acts as a buffer. This approach has proven invaluable for accommodating spikes in demand and ensuring a consistent availability of products for our customers. Furthermore, we stock a vast inventory of discontinued products that are still needed for legacy applications. While other suppliers might shy away from stocking low-turning items, we understand the importance of supporting our customers’ unique requirements.
