About SupplyFORCE.com

SupplyFORCE operates as a comprehensive solutions provider in the Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) sector, primarily targeting large, multi-site industrial businesses and government agencies. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, the company was established as a result of an initiative by Affiliated Distributors (AD) to help independent distributors compete against national chains in an era of market consolidation. This structure allows SupplyFORCE to offer the personalized service of local suppliers backed by the power of a national network.

The company's business model is centered on a national network of over 200 independent, member-owned distributors with more than 2,500 physical locations. This network allows clients, which include Fortune 1000 companies and federal government bodies like the Army and NASA, to consolidate their MRO procurement under a single corporate agreement while still utilizing their trusted local distributor relationships. Revenue is generated by managing these national contracts, which streamline processes and leverage collective buying power to reduce costs for clients. A key milestone was the 2014 merger with Vanguard National Alliance (VNA), which significantly expanded its reach and capabilities, particularly in the electrical sector, making it the largest distributor-owned national accounts organization in North America at the time.

SupplyFORCE provides a single point of contact for a wide array of product categories, including electrical, industrial supplies, safety equipment, power transmission, bearings, and pipe, valves, and fittings (PVF). Its service offerings are extensive, featuring centralized procurement, e-commerce solutions, data management, customized reporting, and documented cost savings. A notable aspect of its offering is its status as the sole pre-approved national account solution for Rockwell Automation, a major player in industrial automation. This enables SupplyFORCE to provide comprehensive support for automation and control lines, a critical need for modern manufacturing and industrial facilities.
