Challenge
For 20+ years the owner at AfterDark Landscape Lighting has attributed his growth to focusing on becoming as efficient as possible. Learning strategies to ensure that crews aren’t spread all over different areas wasting time, money, fuel, and resources as well as finding a distribution partner who also focuses on efficiencies in business.
The Central Difference Solution
Coming from the industry, the difference between Central vs other distributors is the deep understanding of what a customer needs and then providing tailored solutions to meet those goals. Every business is unique, and every business owner should be able to get terms and conditions that will work for them instead of a cookie-cutter approach. The team at Central knew that what was needed to help AfterDark grow was a balance of planning as well as flexibility.
Results
The efficiency focused approach allowed AfterDark to anticipate distribution cycles, save on freight costs, adjust for supply chain issues & see a greater ROI on material purchases. Additionally, the purchasing discounts afford them the ability to invest in other parts of their business.
