Client Overview

Carfax Bearings Ltd is a well-established UK industrial component distributor supplying transmission consumables to construction-machinery, automation and injection-molding factories, and a 15-year stable EGEN partner.

Before integration, Carfax cooperated with over 3 separate vendors for bearings, shaft sleeves and oil seals, suffering heavy labor cost, cross-supplier tolerance mismatch, missing matching parts and un-enjoyable volume discounts.

Project Goals

Launch a one-stop integrated supply program covering all matching components—consolidate multiple vendors into a single combined order, guarantee 100% assembly compatibility, stabilize delivery and lower total procurement expenditure.

Engineering Challenges

Scattered Supply Chain

Bearings, bushings and oil seals came from 3+ vendors, complicating ordering, reconciliation, logistics and after-sales with high labor cost.

Poor Cross-Part Compatibility

Hundreds of specs had inconsistent dimensional tolerances across suppliers, causing assembly mismatch defects.

Unstable Stock & Delivery

Unmatched production cycles frequently left missing matching parts, halting downstream factories.

High Overall Procurement Cost

Separated orders could not earn unified volume tiered discounts, inflating total purchasing expense.

Technical Solution

Full-Range One-Stop Bundled Supply

Single combined order covers bearings, bushings and oil seals, cutting redundant communication work.

Unified Dimensional-Tolerance Standard

Matching sizes are synchronously inspected in production for 100% assembly compatibility across all sets.

Exclusive Safety Stock & Volume Pricing

Pre-stocked fast-moving parts shorten lead time; consolidated orders unlock tiered discounts.

Single-Point After-Sales Service

One dedicated technical contact resolves all bearing, bushing and seal failures simultaneously.

One supplier now handles our bearings, bushings and oil seals—reconciliation and delivery are finally unified after 15 years of partnership.

Achieved Results

Vendors consolidated from 3+ to a single EGEN partner, cutting procurement, reconciliation and communication workload by 60%; set assembly defects fell 93% with missing-part downtime eliminated, total purchasing cost dropped 12%, and non-standard bushing & special oil-seal expansion orders now make up 35% of sales.
