Science Warehouse partners with One MRO 23 April 2013

Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) management and services specialist One MRO has signed an agreement with e-business firm Science Warehouse to create MRO Direct, an online marketplace for e-procurement.

Science Warehouse expects to add intuitive and scalable procurement tools to One MRO's portfolio, which already serves companies with sizeable investments in plant and equipment and for which MRO represents a significant proportion of annual expenditure.

Tony Goodwin, CEO of One MRO, explains that it's all about achieving reduce expenditure by improving inventory accuracy, operational efficiencies and cost controls.

"For the majority of organisations, the focus has been on improving the accuracy, control and management of MRO inventory," states Goodwing.

"But, by creating the MRO Direct procurement platform with Science Warehouse, One MRO can now also improve a customer's quality of post-spend activity data – to a point that was previously impossible," he continues.

"While there undoubtedly remains a benefit in analysing legacy data, the solution Science Warehouse have provided offers the major advantage of capturing high quality spend data at the point of purchase."

"Structured MRO parts data drives user adoption and contract compliance, and takes spend analytics to a new level," comments Steve Kerridge, managing director of Science Warehouse.

"There is a real appetite in MRO for doing things smarter and the combined offering provides a unique and complete solution to address the widest of MRO operational requirements."
