Alpine provides its clients with an interconnected Supply Network and adds value by lowering the Total Cost of Ownership of commodities and services. By concentrating all of the planning, ordering, tracking, delivery and inventory management in one specialized area, Alpine both improves efficiency and reduces overall cost for its clients. As the supply chain of products and services becomes more complicated with evolved well designs and tighter supply of premium casing there is a requirement for more elaborate tubular supply chain management. As the supply chain looks like less the management of a 'commodity' the more of a fit Alpine becomes in the Oil and Gas industry. With focus on reducing our client's total cost of ownership through operational and planning efficiencies we have helped our clients save more than $20M since 2008. These savings have been derived from: - Client owned inventory utilization and avoiding the purchase of new material - Increased forecast accuracy that has lead to a greater spend with the primary mill supply - Surplus inventory disposition - Mill direct savings by eliminating distributor owned inventory While offering some of the more standard services attributed to the supply and management of tubular products and accessories: - Demand Forecasting - Procurement - Modifications (Slotting, Perforating etc) - Logistics - Order Coordination Alpine offers services above and beyond the standard services that such as: - The Industries only mill direct (transparent) supply solution - Supply chain reporting - Client owned inventory management and disposition - Inspection, repair and re-utilization - Vendor management Contrary to a typical distribution, Alpine does not aim to service the mass market and supply material on a well by well basis but rather form long term strategic partnerships with their clients. With this alignment comes a combined effort to reduce the total cost of ownership of materials.
