Customers benefit as AEI Cables joins industry group

  Posted by: electime      1st February 2018

AEI Cables says it customers from the UK and overseas will be able to access its products and services more quickly and easily after the company partnered with Achilles industrial supply chain management service.

Among its services, Achilles operates supplier pre-qualification programmes designed to benefit both suppliers and buyers in the natural resources, industrials and infrastructure sectors.

This means suppliers can save money and time by completing a single pre-qualification questionnaire, which can then be viewed by a range of organisations in a chosen sector and region.

Customers benefit from improved efficiency and higher standards, as the sector-specific buyers and suppliers are supported by an industry steering group which develops best practice approaches including pre-qualification standards.

Stuart Dover, commercial manager for AEI Cables, said: “Achilles represents an opportunity for AEI Cables because the system is used by so many diverse businesses looking to manage risk and save time and money while looking for relevant suppliers.

“A wide range of pre-qualified suppliers can be accessed, while industry-wide improvements and best practice can also be shared.

“It makes sense for us as a business to sign up, as it allows us to access new business opportunities in the UK and further afield, while cutting the cost of pre-qualification.”
