FluidPowerNet (FPN) - The Fluid Power Distributor Network - Shortening long lead times, emergency supply and hard to find parts The FluidPowerNet idea was to create a website which will enable fluid power distributors to easily buy parts from each other. FPN enables distributors to add their complete inventory into one vast database were lots of other distributors also list inventory. FPN members can then use this vast database to find the parts they need. FluidPowerNet is particularly useful for: - Shortening long manufacturer lead times by sourcing items from distributors instead. - Quickly finding emergency supply parts for breakdown situations. - For sourcing “emergency, hard to find and obsolete” parts quickly and easily. - Selling specialist items. - Selling surplus inventory to other distributors.
