ValveConnect

What is ValveConnect? ValveConnect is a unique online sales platform designed solely for the Valve Industry. Lead times for valves have been steadily increasing over the past few years as foundries close or capacity is reduced by increasing environmental regulations. However all the while there is a myriad amount of stock held by valve companies all over the world, in fact current estimates forecast this to be in excess of $10 Billion annually. Until now there is no way for a potential valve user to search and locate this inventory. ValveConnect provides a shop window to this stock that is held by companies worldwide, from manufacturers and distributors or even to end users with left over stock from projects. The search features within ValveConnect brings commonality to the valve market for the first time, and now buyers can search for exactly the valve they need by size and specification directly from their desktop or mobile device at any time and from anywhere. For the companies who subscribe and list their inventory ValveConnect can also be much more. Not only does it provide a sales outlet to the whole world but it also can be a very effective inventory management tool between businesses. They can now link their inventory to any partner company they choose i.e. create their own private intranet should they wish meaning that they can share and move stock even if there is no shared SAP/MRP system between them. The potential for sharing stock with key customers or sister companies is enormous, and all at a tiny fraction of the cost that any IT project would cost.
