ESSCO opens new warehouse

Electric Sweeper Service Company is proud to announce the grand opening of their new warehouse facility in Jacksonville, FL. The city of Jacksonville is an excellent shipping location. Independent vacuum dealers who are located in Florida, parts of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina will now be able to place an order until 3 p.m. and receive their order from ESSCO the next business day. Large portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas are now two-day delivery from ESSCO. Current ESSCO customers in these areas will also notice a significant reduction in freight charges because of the Jacksonville location.

All orders will still be handled by the same friendly and experienced sales team in Cleveland, OH. Dealers may place an order by phone or fax and pick the order up at the Jacksonville warehouse.

It is no secret that speed of delivery is one of the biggest keys to success in the vacuum cleaner industry. When a dealer is able to receive parts and vacuums faster, they are able to satisfy customers quickly and get more turns on their inventory. Other benefits for southern dealers include being able to use ESSCO as a warehouse. Because of faster delivery times, dealers are able to keep a lower inventory of parts in stock. ESSCO customers in the current one day shipping zone have used this to their advantage for years. If a slow moving part is needed the dealer will order from ESSCO and satisfy their customer the next day without having to keep excess slow moving inventory on hand. The end result is working capital that is not tied up in inventory and can be used for advertising, store improvements or new lines of equipment to sell. At the end of the year the dealer pays no taxes on inventory that is kept in the ESSCO warehouse as well.

The ESSCO industry leading catalog and Web site are available to all independent vacuum dealers by calling 1-800-321-2664 during normal business hours or by logging on to www.essco.net. Feel free to call today if you have any questions or would like to begin experiencing faster delivery, industry leading service and all the ESSCO advantages.
