All About Table Bases—and then some!

What's "Techy" About Table Bases? Your Supplier!

Written by Linda Oheron | Aug 23, 2018 12:50:00 PM

Sure, nobody thinks there's much about a table base, especially nothing fancy or techy. Yet, table bases are not to be overlooked. Ever eat on a wobbly table? Or try to do business over one? It's hard to be dignified or focused when your drink is sloshing about the rim of your glass! Quality table bases constructed from the best materials are paramount to hospitality success.

Once you've determined that steady, quality tables are worth the investment, it's time to find a reliable supplier who offers service just as steady as the table you need to serve up success. What makes a supplier reliable? Obviously, you want somebody with superior, quality products, but let's think below the table-top.

Just as four-prong cast iron table bases offer a sturdy foundation for your customers in hospitality, a tech savvy supplier offers a sturdy business foundation with easy packaging, warehousing, and delivery. By alleviating worries in these areas, you are free to focus your energy on moving your business forward unhampered by concerns about whether or not your supplier can fill your order in a timely manner.

First, let's talk inventory.

At JI Bases, the old days of manual inventory tracking are long gone. Replacing this antiquated system is the new era of UPC coding. UPC codes may look like unnecessary gibberish, but they are actually a handy tool for tracking product information.

Here's a little background: The numbers that you can read on UPC codes are divided into two areas. The first numbers represent the manufacturer's code and the latter part represents the product code. The other part of a UPC is the barcode, which the computer reads when the code is scanned. Data entry through UPC code scanning is quick and easy to use, creating a database of easily tracked information about exactly what products are in the warehouse, what leaves, and where it is destined to go.

Knowing how much of each product is on hand also helps us make sure we have plenty of what you need, when you need it. Therefore, you don't have wasted time waiting on back ordered bases or parts. We understand that your time is money. Choosing suppliers who are capable of saving you time just makes sense.

First Inventory...then Shipping

Tied into our Vendor Management Service (VMS), the UPC codes help us help you with easier product information and ordering services. We are proud to offer shipping within 24 hours of receiving your order to you or your customer and this technology helps us deliver! Through our software program, your order can be filled, shipped, and tracked in a timely manner. Any questions you may have concerning your order will be answered directly without a run-around while we try to get our inventory figured out. We build a sturdy relationship with you, so you can have a strong relationship with your customers.

Finally, because we package quantities in easy-to-use numbers, we can offer delivery on orders without a minimum order requirement. Every customer's needs are unique, including yours! We like to treat our customers to the individualized care that will keep them coming back, regardless of how many items you order at any one given time. We also understand that your needs change. While you may need a larger quantity of an item at one time, that does not mean you'll need the same great number every time. We are proud to be flexible yet reliable. Through our warehousing and packaging systems, we can fill your orders, regardless of how great or small. 

A long history, but not stuck in the dark ages

When you're looking for a table base supplier who offers a sturdy business relationship as well as sturdy table tops, check out JI Bases. We're proud of our customer service heritage but we aren't remaining in the historical stages of inventory and order management. We are looking ahead to continuing our legacy as the number one table base manufacturer and supplier by stepping ahead and using the most modern technology to help us give you the optimal customer service.
