5 Minutes with Industrial Distribution: Supply Chain Automation Brings Innovation

Watch as we discuss how Border States, a leading distributor serving the industrial, construction, and utility industries, is working to innovate its supply chain. Border States has grown organically and through mergers and acquisitions since 1952. The company’s core value continues to be the same — to make customers its primary focus. 

According to the company, when their customers need innovative products and supply chain solutions for their applications, Border States’ experts won’t rest until their customers are taken care of. With this in mind, we’re excited to bring Mike Polansky, Director of Procurement Operations/Purchasing at Border States, into the conversation.

Mike leads a team overseeing the inventory of 200K products and material management for 120 branch locations in 29 states. With over 35 years in distribution supply chain leadership, he is known for driving innovation, achieving results, and partnering with companies, including GAINS.

In this episode we discuss how he’s used automation and optimization from GAINS to reap better results and make the most of his teams.
