Executive Summary

The following analysis examines the sales of the top five customers of the Fastenal store

located in Mount Vernon, Washington. In analyzing the sales of each of the top five customers

over the period of three years, we will attempt to shed light on trends associated with yearly

and monthly sales. This report will also analyze each customer’s trends associated with certain

product categories, and offer recommendations based on those observations. This report will

also offer future sales forecast based on assumptions as well as historic numbers. Caliber

Precision’s purchases have remained stagnant over the past two years, but continue to bring in

profit due to high profit margins and large purchases of fasteners. Draper Valley Farms, despite

low margins, has continued to grow in every product category year after year. Meyer Sign and

Advertising is characterized by seasonal purchases and high customer maintenance costs. NW

Horticulture’s purchases have grown immensely during 2014 for every product category.

Comptex is a risky customer as they do not purchase fasteners, rather focus on material

handling and safety products.

Overview

This report reviews the top five customers of the Fastenal store in Mount Vernon Washington.

These five local companies provide the bulk of the sales and are the most active and consistent

purchasers. This analysis involves looking at historical sales, profit margins, and customer

service costs from 2012 to 2014. From this data, we are able to gain a better understanding of

the customer’s purchasing habits, profitability, and project future sales. Analyzing historical

sales data will help us understand the customers’ demand for certain product categories and

help us see the costs associated with serving them.

Caliber Precision Inc. Appendix A

Sales

Caliber Precision Inc. is a custom machining and manufacturing company located in Mount

Vernon WA, and is Fastenal’s highest spending customer. From year 2012 to 2014, Caliber has

posted purchased a total of $86,389.49 worth of products. 2013 saw Caliber’s spending grow

13.71% from $27,859 to $31,678. However, in 2014 sales were stagnant were 0.75% less than

in the previous year. The issue causing the lack of growth of this account can be uncovered with

deeper analysis of their purchasing habits.

The percentage of yearly spending made on fasteners has grown 41% in 2013 to 64% in 2014. It

is a good sign that a large percentage of Caliber’s spending is on fasteners. The growth of

spending in this category is a positive sign in respect to the future profitability of this customer

as this is Fastenal’s main product and the core of the store’s business. On the other hand, sales

dominated by a single category of product poses a risk to the store if the business decides to

Page 4: Fastenal Report - pdf

switch providers for that category. We also see that sales for every other category of products

other than safety supplies have either decreased or remained stagnant from 2013 to 2014.

Looking at the average gross margins, we see an increase from 53% in 2013 to 67% 2014

meaning that although sales did not improve, the store made more profit from the customer in

2014 than in 2013. It is also good to see that despite increases in sales and number of items

sold, the freight charges were lower in 2013 and 2014 than in 2012 meaning better savings to

the customer.

Customer profitability

In conducting the customer profitability analysis, the following assumptions had to be made:

A half hour, or $10 is spent every week on deliveries and sales calls

Marketing costs such as special offers and promotional material, and are assumed to be

$100 per year.

Future sales will grow by an average of 10% per year and margins will remain at 60%.

Cost savings for the customer i.e. invoice cost, freight, and bin refills, are allocated to

the store.

Future cost savings will be a historic 10% of sales

Using these metrics as well as the average gross margin per year, we can calculate the amount

of profit the store has generated by its business with Caliber precision. Looking at the table, we

can see that despite the increase in sales from 2012 to 2013, the profitability dropped due to

low margins and high cost of doing business ($4,436). Using previous year’s numbers, we can

also make predictions regarding future sales.

Profit $ 12,515 $ 11,733 $ 17,138 $ 16,673 $ 18,402 $ 20,304

Recommendations

Caliber Precision is company in a stable industry, and we can only expect its demand for

fasteners to grow. Opportunities where Fastenal can grow their sales include promoting

specially manufactured goods that accounted for $3,423 and $4,826 in 2012 and 2013. It

would also be beneficial to look into the materials handling product category of which only

two purchases were made in the past 3 years. Other areas of concern include the lack of

growth in sales of items other than fasteners.

Draper Valley Farms Appendix B

Sales

Draper Valley Farms is a poultry producer based in Mount Vernon, WA. Draper Valley is

Fastenal’s seconded largest customer purchasing $85, 910.68 worth of products in the past 3

years. In 2012, Draper Valley spent only $8,401 but grew its spending 261% in 2013 to $30,334

and 60% to $48,468 in 2014.

In 2012, over half of the sales made to Draper Valley were for fasteners and a quarter were for

material handling products. 2013 saw sales of material handling, hydraulic, and janitorial

Page 6: Fastenal Report - pdf

products overtake spending on fasteners which dropped to $3,487.However, in 2014 spending

on fasteners grow to $11,844 and janitorial supplies to $12,083. 2014 has also seen a drop in

sales of hydraulics and pneumatics to $2,843 and $2,131 to $7,376 and $7,471 respectively. The

last two years have also been characterized by mostly moderate sales throughout the year with

the highest spending coming in the month of November.

Customer Profitability

With fasteners dropping from half of the products purchased to making up only a quarter of the

products purchased by Draper Valley Farms, other products with much smaller margins has

brought the gross margins down from 52% to 34% to 46% within the last 3 years. In addition,

the amount of invoices has increased from 61 to 102 to 155 growing the amount spent on

servicing the customer. While these two observations affect the overall profitability, the

demand for a diverse set of products decreases the risk associated with switching suppliers.

This low risk makes Draper Valley Farms a key customer that purchases a diverse set of

products while showing rapid growth. According to the forecast of 20% growth per year, by the

year 2017 Draper Valley’s spending will be over $83,000.

The following are assumptions for the profitability and future growth of Draper Valley Farms:

A conservative 20% growth and 40% margin

A half hour a week is spent on sales calls in deliveries costing approximately $10

Marketing costs of $100 a year

Customer savings are a historic 30% of sales

Page 7: Fastenal Report - pdf

Cost savings for the customer i.e. invoice cost, freight, and bin refills, are incurred by

Fastenal.

Profit $ 1,188 $ 902 $ 7,291 $ 5,198 $ 6,362 $ 7,758

Recommendations

Draper Valley Farms was the store’s highest spending customer in 2014, and has shown

immense growth over the past three years. One recommendation would be to push the sales of

fasteners as they provide high margins. Other recommendations would be to increase the

promotion of janitorial products as well as hydraulics and pneumatics as their sales have

decreased significantly over the past year. Overall, Draper Valley Farm’s wiliness to purchase

such a diverse set of products from Fastenal can lead to opportunities to supply other tools and

materials used by their plant.

Meyer Sign and Advertising Appendix C

Sales

Meyer Sign and Advertising is a custom display and sign manufacturer that has been operating

since 1956. Over the past three years, Meyer Sign has spent $42,812.65 with Fastenal. The sales

Page 8: Fastenal Report - pdf

for the past three years have grown 39% from $12,470 in 2012 to $17,304 in 2013. Year 2014

saw sales drop 13% to $15, 072.

Every year, over half of Meyer Sign’s purchases have been fasteners. From 2012 to 2013, their

spending on fasteners increased from$7,669 to $9,868. In 2014, their purchases of fasteners

dropped to $8,684. Because their demand for fasteners directly relates to the demand for signs

in the count, the opportunity lies in growing the sales of janitorial supplies and tools. Over the

past two years, the sales for janitorial supplies have grown from $867 to $1,517 and $1,154 to

$1,405 for tools and accessories. Looking at monthly purchases, we can see the majority of

Meyer Sign purchases happening during early spring and late fall. Knowing this provides an

opportunity to market and push sales at those specific periods.

Customer Profitability

This profitability analysis and forecasts implies the following to be true:

15 minutes a week are spent on deliveries and stocking bins

$100 a year are spent on marketing

Cost savings for the customer are incurred by the Fastenal store

Future growth will continue at 10% every year, cost savings will equal 30% of sales, and

margins will remain at 70%

The average gross margins have increase from 66% to 69% to 75% in the past year. Despite

high margins, Meyer Sign has high customer service costs particularly due to their large number

of invoices (451) over the past three years, 100 more than any other customer does. Despite

unpredictable swings in sales from year to year, Meyer Sign has had profits of nearly 30% of

Page 9: Fastenal Report - pdf

sales every year. If sales continue to increase 10% each year, they will reach $20,000 by year

2017.

Profit $ 3,937 $ 6,900 $ 5,910 $ 6,322 $ 6,985 $ 7,714

Recommendations

Recommendations for the account include pushing sales of tools, equipment, and janitorial

supplies; items which are not directly tied to the number of signs manufactured. Also, increases

in sales during spring and late fall should be looked at as opportunities to offer the customer

additional products.

North West Horticulture Appendix D

Sales

Northwest Horticulture is a local grower specializing in perennials, ornamental grasses, and

groundcovers which spent $34,721.21 with Fastenal over the past 3 years. In 2013, NW

Horticulture’s sales dropped 26% from $8,391 to $6,206. However, in 2014 the sales grew

drastically to 257%.

Page 10: Fastenal Report - pdf

The years 2012 and 2013 were characterized by high spending on fasteners, which was done

during the late summer and early fall months. 2014 saw a drop in sales of fasteners to $1,364

from $4,614 and $3,646 in 2012 and 2013. On the other hand, 2014 saw large increases in

purchases of tools and accessories, hydraulics and pneumatics, and material handling products.

Sales for the tools and accessories category itself increased from $412 in 2013 to $8,238 in

2014. Unlike the seasonal purchases of fasteners, tools and accessories were purchased

throughout the year.

Customer profitability

Assumptions made in future profit forecast include:

Sales will grow at a conservative rate of 10% per year. Profit margins will be a historic

46% average.

A half hour per week, or $10 will be spent on deliveries and sales calls.

Cost savings will equal a historic 13% of sales.

$100 per year will be spent on marketing.

Margins for NW Horticulture decreased form 52% in 2012 to 40% and 46% in 2013 and 2014

correlating with the decreased demand for fasteners. In 2014, NW Horticulture became a much

valuable customer as it increased its spending on other categories of products and their overall

purchases by 257%. This shows us that this customer is looking for Fastenal to supply more and

more of the products they use.

Profit $ 2,993 $ 1,314 $ 6,918 $ 7,726 $ 8,529 $ 9,413

Recommendations

Northwest Horticulture’s increase in purchases for 2014 has made them a very valuable

customer for Fastenal. Not only are the sales growing rapidly, but their purchases include more

and more product categories every single year. It would be interesting to see what other

products NW Horticulture would be willing to purchase from Fastenal apart from the ones they

are buying right now. Still, a decline in fastener purchases, especially during late summer

months, leaves the question of whether they have shifter to another supplier or simply do not

need them for their business. In the end, spending more and money marketing to this customer

can lead to great results in the future.

Comptex Appendix E

Sales

Comptex Inc. is an industrial textile manufacturer that has been in business since 1999. In the

past three years, Comptex has generated $34,063.44 in sales for the store. From 2012 to 2013,

Comptex purchase grew 60% but were followed by a 22% drop in 2014.

Page 12: Fastenal Report - pdf

Over the years, more than half of Comptex purchases have been material handling and

janitorial products. Sales for material handling products increased to $8,940 in 2013 from

$4,510 in 2012, than decreased to $6,800 in 2014. Janitorial and hydraulic products followed a

similar trend. The only category that remained constant throughout the periods was safety

supplies. It is surprising that Comptex purchases of fasteners have been decreased every single

year since 2013, and only going from $154 to $8 to $17. This is concerning because fasteners

allow for large profit margins and are Fastenal’s key differentiator from generic hardware

supply stores. tools and accessories growth

Customer profitability

Assumptions:

One hour, or $20 a week will be spent on deliveries and sales calls.

Sales will grow at 10% per year and with 51% profit margins.

Future cost savings will equal a historic 13% of sales.

$100 a year will be spent on marketing.

Despite purchasing very few fasteners, Fastenal’s profit margins for Comptex have stayed at a

reasonable average of 52% for all three years. Future projections assume a perpetual growth

rate of 10%, although because purchases are not directly related to how well Comptex Inc.’s

core business, we can expect the growth rate to continue to fluctuate.

Profit $ 2,445 $ 4,703 $ 3,743 $ 3,670 $ 4,099 $ 4,570

Recommendations

My recommendation for improving the store’s business with Comptex is to increase marketing

of tools and accessories. Because Comptex’s purchases are not directly tied to their product

sales and are more or less discretionary, the store must stimulate demand for additional

product categories. I would also recommend inquiring about the details of Comptex’s

manufacturing process and offering to supply the core products essential to their operations.
