The AEUSP meets quarterly in various locations throughout the Province of Ontario to discuss new Legislation and it's impacts on Utilities.

The AEUSP (US) is yet another successful collaboration project based on the extreme successes in Canada, we anticipate the same if not greater successes with AEUSP (US)!

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 ©"

Specialties:

At SupplyLevel Inc.®™ our leading edge e Commerce Plus Solution ©, significantly exceeds client expectations by lowering unnecessarily high inventory levels while creating purchasing power beyond precedent while collaborating as a huge product purchasing pool!
