HD Supply Joins eSupply Systems’ eProcurement Vendor Network

Jan. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- eSupply Systems further solidified its role as the leading multifamily eProcurement solution by adding HD Supply Facilities Maintenance as a key maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) vendor.

"Adding HD Supply to our vendor network deepens our national footprint and aligns us with the leading vendors in the multifamily MRO sector," said Keu Zafar, President of eSupply Systems. “Their nationwide distribution and vast product selection allow us to offer even more options to our customers, helping multifamily operators to consolidate purchasing, improve operational consistency and lower MRO costs.

“Our goal is to provide a ‘best-in-class’ vendor network for our customers, and HD Supply is an excellent fit for eSupply Systems.”

“HD Supply Facilities Maintenance maintains some of the deepest relationships into the largest multifamily management companies,” said Michael Fortinberry, Senior Vice President of Business Development. “This relationship is a critical component to our continued growth and expansion.”

HD Supply Facilities Maintenance’s Vice President of Multifamily Solutions, Shawn Handrahan commented on the agreement, “At HD Supply, we are always searching for new ways to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs for our customers. For many property owners and managers, visibility into their largest controllable expense — Maintenance, Repair and Operating spend — is very limited. Our national account agreement with eSupply Systems not only gives smaller management companies access to our broad assortment of products and solutions, but also gives them the ability to save time and money through an expense management platform that helps to automate and centralize purchasing.”      

In addition to HD Supply, eSupply Systems has developed vendor partnerships with leading suppliers including: Staples, Sherwin Williams, Rasa Floors, CriterionBrock, Whirlpool and Sears Commercial Parts.
