In late 2007, Don Tyers founded yet another new innovative
company ... SupplyLevel Inc. was
established as a result of a
Utility, Gas, Oil,
Communications and Local Governments need to
"pool" inventory to lower carrying costs, and create a far more
effective way to increase revenue and thus reduce "bottom line
costs".
"In today's turbulent financial markets, only those that can
adapt, work smarter, and conduct business more economically will
move towards profitability. Utilities actively pursue creative
relationships that further reduce costs and also enhance
existing revenue streams. Inventories of electric utilities
across the US and Canada continue to be far higher than what is
vital to service it's clients, and that translates to soaring
carrying costs and, a lack of utilizable currency.
But now, there is an resourceful way to minimize these costs,
dispense of excess inventory and participate in a significant
utility product sharing pool!
Here it is, ... SupplyLevel Inc. ®™ e Commerce Solutions ©"

Inc.®™ our

client expectations by lowering unnecessarily high inventory
levels while creating purchasing power beyond precedent while
