Value Plus Program

Excessive costs are hidden in our redundant day-to-day activities.

Sure, piece price is one area where our customers can save a few pennies. But the big money is to be found in many of the processes surrounding the acquisition of the product itself.

Vallen has a proven approach to identifying waste and taking cost out of our customer’s indirect materials supply chain. Documenting savings for our customers is a core value and at the foundation of Vallen’s organization. The field sales team, operations team, National Accounts team and Product Specialists team, all work in conjunction with our customers and supplier partners on projects aimed at reducing cost.

Value Plus is Vallen’s innovative solution for proposing cost-reducing initiatives and documenting the savings they produce. Based on a vast database of successful projects, Value Plus enables us to combine knowledge of your current state—your actual cost drivers and spend—with results we’ve achieved in the past to create reliable savings projections. The projects that yield those savings are tailored to your needs, and can address any cost driver, with the potential to deliver “hard” cost benefits like product pricing or labor savings as well as “soft” benefits like less time and effort spent on procurement, or knock-on effects like increased production yield. Each initiative has a measurable outcome that is mutually agreed upon. That gives you a real-world baseline against which to measure success—and hold Vallen accountable for performance.

What makes the Vallen approach stand out is its thoroughness. Built into Value Plus are dozens of parameters that address virtually every cost driver our customers have experienced—everything from transaction costs to the impact of product selection on production downtime. We can also accommodate your own customised savings metrics. Because Vallen looks at cost reduction holistically, we think about how the MROP products you choose, and the way you procure, store, replenish and distribute them, impact your business. By broadening our scope beyond the usual cost factors, we are able to have a greater impact on total cost.
