Quotes in minutes, not days.

Describe what you need in plain language. A curated preview arrives in minutes. The priced quote follows once a person reviews it, usually the same business day.

The proposal

A document worthy of the work it represents.

This is what comes back. Every line carries the reason it was chosen: for your site, your equipment, your window. Not a catalog blurb.

Delivery is honest: lead times and split shipments called out before you order, never after. And the compliance package is attached by default, not on request: SDS sheets, certifications, UNSPSC codes, diverse spend documentation.

It reads like it was prepared by someone who cared about getting it right. Because someone did.

Pricing appears here, in the reviewed proposal, never in the instant preview.

How it works

A trusted advisor, not a database.

01 · Describe

Tell us the project, the site, and the deadline in your own words, or forward the RFQ you were already sending. We infer the rest: specs from a model number, compliance from your facility type. You never repeat yourself.

02 · Preview, in minutes

The curation arrives as a web view and a PDF, with the specific reason each product was chosen and delivery dates on every line. No pricing yet. No commitment. No phone call.

03 · The quote

We review sourcing and lock the numbers, usually the same business day. What lands is the official quote: priced under our published cap, alternatives you choose yourself, compliance documents already attached.

04 · Release

Approve and it ships direct to your dock, no warehouse in between. Lead times and split shipments are flagged up front, and you get updates as each shipment moves. The order joins your consolidated statement, and its paperwork files itself.

The difference

What your current distributor doesn’t do.

How TESC compares with a typical distributor across five dimensions.
What you are comparing	TESC	A typical distributor
Time to a quote	Minutes to a curated preview, priced the same business day	Days, and often a phone call first
Compliance documents	Attached to every order by default: SDS, certs, UNSPSC	On request, if at all
Price ceiling	Landed cost plus 30 percent, enforced in code	Whatever the rep quotes
Your paperwork	One consolidated statement per period	One invoice per order, forty times a year
When something is wrong	A decision maker within two business hours	A case number

Every claim above is something TESC states elsewhere on this page and enforces in its terms. No logos, no testimonials, just the difference.

One agreement, one invoice

Five hundred purchase orders. One invoice.

Every small order costs you $75 to $250 in processing before the goods even arrive. Requisition, approval, receiving, three-way match, payment. Five hundred times a year.

TESC replaces the pattern, not the products. One blanket agreement in your system. Releases in plain language: email, a forwarded RFQ, or the desk above. Then one consolidated statement per period, every line carrying its order number, cost center, and delivery confirmation. Your AP team runs one match instead of forty.

$75 to $250 is the industry’s number, not ours. Know your cost per PO? We’ll run the math with yours.

Who it’s for

Built for the institutions that can’t afford to get it wrong.

We speak the language of regulated procurement: compliance, lead times, diverse spend reporting, and the documentation your auditors expect.

Utilities

Substation, grid, and field operations supply, with diverse spend documentation built into every order.

Hospital systems

Facilities, plant operations, and MRO, handled with the data practices your security teams expect.

Universities

Centralized procurement across campuses and medical centers, with delivery guarantees that respect your fiscal calendar.

Telecom

Network, central office, and field supply, staged and split shipped to match build and maintenance schedules.

Electrical
MRO
Safety & PPE
HVAC/R
Plumbing
PVF
Waterworks

If it’s not stocked, we source it.

Compliance

The paperwork arrives before anyone asks.

Every order ships with its compliance pack attached to the confirmation: current SDS revisions, product certifications, country of origin, UNSPSC codes. Not on request. By default.

One link for the entire site.

Every SDS and certification for everything TESC has ever shipped to a site, compiled into one digital binder that stays current. When the auditor asks, your team clicks once. Built for HazCom 1910.1200 and Environment of Care surveys. When a manufacturer revises an SDS, your binder updates and your site is notified.

Reportable, to the dollar.

TESC’s supplier diversity certifications are in process: CPUC Supplier Clearinghouse, NGLCC, and NMSDC. Once certified, every order to a reporting utility ships with a credit memo computed from your own filed numbers. Until then, we say “in process” because that’s what’s true.

Compliance & security

Built to pass the security review before you’re asked.

Security is the foundation, not a feature. Every architectural decision answers the questionnaires your IT and procurement teams will send, completely and accurately.

SOC 2 READY ARCHITECTURE

Audit-ready from day one. Comprehensive, immutable audit logging of every data access and mutation. Access controls enforced at every layer. Built to the standard so formal certification is a filing, not a rebuild.

HIPAA-ADJACENT

Health-grade data handling. We never touch patient data, and we treat all customer data as if we did. Data minimization, strict access controls, and breach notification readiness let hospital security teams check every box.

UTILITY GRADE

Assessment ready. Encryption at rest and in transit, row-level security at the database, explicit incident response, and business continuity. The questions utilities and large institutions ask, answered before they ask.

The terms

In writing.

The price integrity cap.

Our price on any unmanaged purchase never exceeds landed cost plus 30 percent. That cap is enforced in our code, not our fine print. If we ever breach it, you're credited twice the difference.

You will never be routed.

Every proposal is reviewed by a person before it sends. When something goes wrong, you hear from a decision maker within two business hours, not a case number.

The price never rises on conversion.

If supplier pricing drops between quote and order, you get the lower price automatically. If it rises, your quote holds. You never lose.
