Combined Purchasing Power Equals Better Pricing For Our Clients

Because of this relationship, JH Kelly is able to leverage over $3.5 billion in combined annual purchasing power when negotiating national agreements with major vendors and suppliers. This enables us to provide better pricing, improved access to scarce equipment and materials, and preferred procurement status on your project.

By using trend analysis, our Supply Chain Team is able to forecast market conditions and identify the ideal time to purchase materials and equipment, ensuring maximum value for every project. Not only are we experts at managing vendor relationships and leveraging national agreements to benefit you, our also able to ensure compliance with any Buy America provisions that apply to your project.

Remarcable provides a streamlined user interface, real-time visibility into material status and tool availability, and is utilized by our Supply Chain Team as well as project staff and field teams to requisition material, equipment, and tools. Because our vendors and suppliers with negotiated agreements are in-system, Remarcable allows us to provide competitive pricing across all of our projects. It also facilitates seamless coordination between the field, warehouse, and suppliers, ensuring materials and equipment are at your project exactly when it is required.
