			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the spring of 2005, a retail customer of Fountainpoint Distribution, LLC was searching for a particular cart for use in its stores.<a href="http://www.fountainpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Cart051.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-116" title="Cart05" src="http://www.fountainpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Cart051.jpg" alt="" width="255" height="236" /></a> The cart needed to ship assembled and it needed to be shipped with the necessary storage bins.</p>
<p> Fountainpoint allowed the customer to pay for the entire order with their Purchasing Card.<br />
 Due to a very tight delivery schedule, Fountainpoint point arranged expedited shipping on all carts and bins. Also, the cart manufacturer altered production schedules to make sure Fountainpoint had the unassembled carts in adequate time to meet the retail customer’s schedule.<br />
Fountainpoint assembled and delivered the necessary carts to the customers Distribution Center. Fountainpoint used the customers delivery schedule to ensure West Coast stores received their carts on the same day as East Coast stores.<br />
 Fountainpoint met with the Distribution Center staff to confirm all carts and bins were packaged and shipped correctly.:<a href="http://www.fountainpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ReadyToShip.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-117" title="ReadyToShip" src="http://www.fountainpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ReadyToShip.jpg" alt="" width="304" height="270" /></a><br />
 Fountainpoint ordered custom boxes and provided custom labeling to meet the customers very specific shipping needs.<br />
 Fountainpoint stepped up on this project and provided a complete, hassle-free solution for the customer</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Case Study:  Customized Maintenance Kits</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-66 kitting_img" title="MannequinKit" src="http://fountainpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/MannequinKit.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="333"  />In August of 2004, a large retailer contacted Fountainpoint Distribution, LLC with a need to develop a standardized kit of products used to maintain their female mannequins in stores across the county.   The retailer provided a list of the suggested fifteen products and potential suppliers for each product.   Fountainpoint worked with the retailer to find several products that were better suited for mannequins than those that the customer originally recommended.  For example, a hair spray product was replaced with a hair spray that was specifically designed for wigs.</p>
<p>Fountainpoint Distribution was able to provide sourcing, cost quotes and samples for all 15 items to the customer within one week.  After the products were successfully tested at one of the retail outlets, the retailer began ordering and shipping the mannequin maintenance kits to their stores all over the country.  Hundreds of kits have been delivered to the retailer to date and there have not been any quality problems or defects reported.  A recent order for 700 mannequin maintenance kits was delivered within 26 days of receipt of the purchase order.</p>
<p>Fountainpoint Distribution, LLC was able to benefit the customer by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Saving the customer 10% of their original estimate for the cost of the products alone</li>
<li>Managing the inventory for the fifteen items sourced from 11 different suppliers</li>
<li>Assembling and packing the kits for shipment</li>
<li>Providing a Project Management Institute (PMI) certified project manager to ensure a high-quality, cost effective and timely delivered product</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Fountainpoint located a supplier that could provide 16 mated pieces of Velcro in a heat-sealed bag.</li>
<li>The price was very cost effective and because the customer was able to give accurate projections of anticipated use, the cost was able to be brought down even further.</li>
<li>Fifty bags were placed in every box so the Velcro could be easily replenished.</li>

<td valign="top">During the spring of 2004, a customer of Fountainpoint Distribution, LLC was in need of a more efficient way to redistribute shelving that was the result of store closures.   When Fountainpoint was contacted, there was approximately 40 pallets of shelving material.</p>
<p>Of the two companies that provided a proposal for this project, Fountainpoint Distribution had the best overall cost and the best overall features.  These included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fountainpoint fully took over the warehousing of all the shelving products.</li>
<li>Prior to Fountainpoint taking over the project, there was no part numbers for the various shelves and brackets.  Fountainpoint assigned part numbers and provided pictures on each of the items that were available to be ordered by store.</li>
<li>Fountainpoint added a punchout site to its Ariba functionality.  This allowed users to go to the website and order the items while keeping everything within the Ariba network.</li>
<li>In a one month period during the Fall of 2004, nearly 40 orders were shipped out both in boxes and on pallets.</li>
<li>Whenever a store closes, Fountainpoint continues to receive all shelving items.  These items are sorted in preparation to be shipped back out.</li>
<li>When the project started, there were approximately 40 pallets of brackets and shelving.  The total pallets being stored now exceeds 120.</li>
