January 01, 2009 - Norristown, PA -- Waco, a leading national filtration product distributor, introduces the Filter Inventory & Management Solutions (FIMS) system to provide clients with guaranteed annual savings on filtration. With over forty years in the filtration industry, WACO has extensive experience in helping companies with multiple independent sites take advantage of benefits and cost savings derived from filter supplier consolidation and the resulting leverage of their filter spend.
“Our experience has shown that filter databases seldom accurately reflect what is in use by client sites,” explains Linda Moyer, VP of National Accounts of Waco. “Furthermore, since there is no industry standard for nominally rated retention specifications and dirt holding capacity and filters are application dependent, procurement cannot determine whether a proposed filter will perform as well as the existing filters. Only with in depth site surveys by qualified filtration specialists and the willingness to test alternatives can cost savings be identified and realized. With this in mind, Waco developed Filter Inventory Management & Solutions or FIMS.”
FIMS transfers the analysis workload off customers to Waco and provides guaranteed substantial savings by:
• Eliminating carrying cost of inventory
• Reducing transaction costs
• Evaluating existing filtration processes to determine cost of filtration reduction opportunities
• Improving the efficiency of filtration processes
Additionally, Waco is committed to helping its customers reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and in general enhance environmental sustainability through the smart application of filtration technology.
