Immediate assistance in the event of acute supply bottlenecks

There are often economies of scale when several requests for specific products can be bundled. Do not get involved in excessive prices or postponements of deadlines and contact us to find out how we can help you in your specific situation. We will support you if employees of yours are absent due to illness.
Risk analyses – Predictive risk management
The Kloepfel Services Taskforce “Coronavirus” also supports you in your forward-looking risk management in order to continue to ensure your supply in the coming weeks and months. Here, not only the core materials but also smaller items should be examined, where a failure would immediately shut down production.
In order to check where there is a risk potential, our buyers telephone our customers’ suppliers. In advance, we select the suppliers at risk together with the customer according to specific risk criteria. If we identify potential risks, we immediately set up an emergency program:
- Setting up buffer stocks (as long as still possible),
- Identification and qualification of alternative suppliers from our database of 400,000 suppliers,
- Sourcing of worldwide remaining stocks of smaller local dealers or manufacturers,
- Worldwide emergency sourcing through our digital sourcing programs,
- 100% transparent,
- Support in finding alternative logistics sources.
