America is an industrial giant. At the heart of all the industries fueling the nation’s economy – from healthcare and manufacturing to food and technology – is one that facilitates the movement of goods for businesses across sectors: SUPPLY POINTe.
Founded in Cincinnati in 2002, SUPPLY POINTe was originally started as a transportation and packaging business but has since evolved into a one-stop solution for B2B logistics and delivery solutions – such as pallet and box programs – for manufacturers and distributors across the U.S.
As part of a massive $700 billion trucking industry, SUPPLY POINTe creates an exciting opportunity for franchisees to leverage a fast-growing business opportunity while taking advantage of the flexibility afforded by the business model. “This is truly a home-based business,” said Adam Cahill, SUPPLY POINTe owner. “You’ve got that flexible schedule and the ability to create a lifestyle where you’re with your family or able to do the things you’re passionate about, like travel or be at your kid’s out-of-state baseball tournament. You really have that space, and I think COVID has put a lot of eyes on finding that.”
Importantly, though, Cahill highlights that SUPPLY POINTe gives owners this flexibility without running the risk of it being a short-lived opportunity with an impending expiration date. “We’re not just some fly-by-night industry,” he said. “The worldwide economy is predicated on manufacturing and distribution. We’ve survived pandemics, recessions, wars. This thing’s not going anywhere.”
That said, flexibility and business outlook are only the beginning of what franchisees can look forward to with SUPPLY POINTe. Other notable perks include low startup costs and minimal overhead. ”We joke that we’re allergic to overhead,” said Cahill, noting the lack of need for a storefront, machinery, employees, or other major expenses. Franchisees also benefit from a model built for recurring sales and repeat business.
