Wholesale Electric Supply Co of Houston, Inc.
Wholesale Electric Supply Company of Houston has been extremely successful utilizing MMS for the past 20 years. During that time Wholesale Electric’s sales have increased six-fold to over $300,000,000. Wholesale has enjoyed this tremendous growth with a marginal increase in personnel which allows them to operate at one of lowest expense ratios in the electrical industry and with employee productivity levels among the highest. IT expenses are also significantly below industry average based on a comparison to NAED PAR reports. MMS has been instrumental in making Wholesale Electric Supply, with its ten locations and almost 400 employees, one of the premier distributors along the Gulf Coast. IDS systems give WES an edge over their competition and are instrumental in helping Wholesale Electric win major MRO blanket contracts with the likes of ExxonMobil, Valero, Equistar and others. |

The Construction Material Management System (CMMS) has allowed Wholesale Electric Supply to manage hundreds of large capital projects worldwide with companies like Bechtel, MW Kellogg, Halliburton and many other engineering contractors. The history of Wholesale’s CMMS projects can be viewed at Wholesale’s WEB Site. Wholesale also recently received a contract with Bechtel to manage the electrical material on the Shell Motiva Project in Port Arthur, Texas. This will be the largest refinery expansion project ever on the Gulf coast and was coveted by every major electrical distributor. The project will cost several billion dollars over the next 3 to 5 years including several hundred million dollars in electrical bulk spend that will be managed through the IDSConstruction Material Management System. |
