The problem in electrical distribution
Electrical distributors balancing project and counter demand across branches, with excess accumulating after every job. Too many decisions live in one veteran's head, and legacy systems record data but never actually decide anything — so nothing scales.
- Project leftovers become branch dead stock
- Counter stockouts lose walk-in sales
- Reorder points set once and never revisited
How Maintained gets the outcome
- Automate routine replenishment, sourcing, and disposition decisions
- Escalate only exceptions and value calls to a person
