LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encompass Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of replacement parts and supply chain services for a diverse range of product brands, today announced it has teamed with Midea America Corp. to implement a comprehensive parts supply chain management program to support its products after the sale.
Under an agreement with Midea, Encompass will provide a range of parts and supply chain services, including forecasting, purchasing, warehousing, distribution and call center support. Encompass will serve as a master supplier to Midea’s authorized service providers, self-maintaining retailers and other designated affiliates.

“Encompass is excited for the opportunity to partner with Midea and support their high-quality home appliances,” said Robert Coolidge, Encompass president and CEO. “Managing parts supply is our core business, and we are committed to providing expert service to Midea and their product repair networks.”
The agreement also outlines specific performance metrics that Encompass is expected to achieve for the program. According to Joe Hurley, Encompass senior vice president of Business Development, the supplier will be measured on such indicators as fill rates, turnaround time, returns processing and more.
“Performance tracking and reporting is an important component of all our supply chain programs,” said Hurley. “We provide full visibility to our clients in real time so they know what’s happening at any stage.”
Jay Reynolds, Midea America Director of After Sales Service, said Encompass’ turnkey capabilities, extensive expertise and service dedication helped drive the agreement.
