Reduce Time Spent Waiting on Replenishment with Linde’s Total Supply Management for Construction Services

Apr 19, 2022

To our industry’s and our economy’s gain, commercial and residential construction is exponentially expanding. However, this growth in the construction industry has also created an adverse effect on one of the most important aspects that keeps the industry functioning smoothly: the construction supply chain.

As construction projects continue to rise, general contractors’ needs for construction materials and supplies have also increased, which has created a surge of demand that can weigh on the supply management, including the replenishment of supplies.

Had your fill of waiting for trucks to replenish your gases and hardgoods? Linde’s Total Supply Management Program can help minimize the time spent waiting for deliveries. Designed to maximize uptime, reduce site traffic and lower costs, this innovative program combines a tailored on-site gas supply and hardgoods system to simplify construction supply chain management and help ensure your team has what they need, when they need it.  linde truck2

With our Total Supply Management Program, you benefit from on-site gas supply solutions that begin with custom packaged gas plans and purpose-built on-site fill plants. As your supplier. we offer plans, tailored to your exact need, that can range from individual cylinders and packs to custom microbulk systems, gas generators, point of use, gas delivery and bulk storage systems.

Uninterrupted Supply, Reduced Chance for Loss of Use

Linde‘s Total Supply Management Program provides an uninterrupted supply of gases and keeps the work flowing. Once in place, the system creates a closed loop system, reducing many of the pitfalls associated with cylinders and assets coming and going. Cylinders stay at your site and are filled at your jobsite. The closed site system provides greater security and increases the accuracy of inventories, and this accuracy directly impacts your bottom line. With the Linde system in place, the chance for loss-of-use billing is reduced, saving you thousands of dollars.
