Subject: Why ISM Deserves “The Epiroc Spotlight Treatment”
Hey Dan,
I’ve anticipated your burning question on why we’re rolling out the red carpet and tying the silk bow on our relationship with the Institute of Supply Chain Management (ISM* footer link below). It’s the move we’re lovingly dubbing “The Epiroc Treatment.” Let me tell you why ISM is our latest darling in innovation and industrial excellence.
The ISM Supply Chain Professional Powerhouse
Think of ISM, The Institute of Supply Chain Management, as the powerhouse star in the constellation of supply chain management. Like Epiroc, which we’ve perched firmly on a pedestal for its high-performing heavy equipment prowess, ISM is a beacon of prestige in training and certifying top-tier supply chain professionals. It’s where the supply chain industry’s heavy hitters hang their hats and professionals earn their stripes. We’ve seen the ripple effects of ISM certifications across the board of our company clients’ operations, like a shot of espresso to their bottom lines.
Our construction materials leaders—the savvy companies with their illustrious fingers in all the essential construction materials and logistics pies—consistently request ISM-certified pros quicker than you can say “supply chain efficiency.” It’s the equivalent of slapping a shiny gold star on their forehead because everyone knows an ISM certification means business. It also elevates our brand when we’re associated with such industrial excellence.
So while Epiroc conquers the world of drilling solutions with flair, ISM is doing a mic-drop in supply chain management. Giving ISM “The Epiroc Spotlight Treatment” isn’t just savvy; it’s strategic. And let’s be honest, it adds a little pizzazz to our Resource Erectors lineup of industry champions in 2024.
I look forward to your thoughts, and I toast our continued pursuit of excellence with the best in heavy industry.
Cheers,
