Blanket Orders & How to Save Money & Time!
In order to help our customers get to their desired service, some basic questions are required to be answered as accurately as possible:
- What type of wire does your organization need?
- How often do they require that wire?
- Are there any special requirements your cable may require? (Value added services)
- Would you be willing to make Sycor Technology your one-stop wire shop for a 12-month period in order to receive a price and lead time reduction?
These questions are important for receiving a price and lead time reduction because the information provided allows Sycor to correlate multiple customers' shipments better together and purchase larger quantities at a single time. This method is available for every industry and every wire and cable type, which is why we recommended it as it can drastically lower our customers' costs and lead times.
This method is called a 12-month blanket purchase order, which covers all annual requirements. The materials are held exclusively for our customers and can usually be expedited for delivery within one business day. This gives our customers great flexibility in scheduling their production.
- Cost certainty: Product price remains fixed throughout the term
- Companies with minimal storage space can let us store for them
- Flexible shipping dates
- Placing one purchase order is more cost-effective than many purchase orders
- Blanket purchase orders for harnesses and assemblies eliminates lead times
- Ability to get required wire and cable products on-site in 24 hours or less

A final consideration for the blanket order is how much lead time your company requires before that wire needs to be on site. Is it 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, maybe even a few months? If you have a blanket order set up with Sycor you’ve already ordered that wire and because we’re holding your stock in-house all you have to do is let us know when you need it and you’ll have it.
Sycor is well known for its amazing service and it’s one of the main factors that separates us from our competitors. While other organizations make you deal with dozens of different personnel Sycor dedicates a single account manager to you, so no matter when you call or put in an inquiry for your blanket or any other kind of order, you’ll always be dealing with a representative that is completely updated on your organizations' situation.
