Construction management traditionally has focused on completing a project by coordinating the interaction between labor and materials. However the coordination of labor to assemble material (project management) is a distinctly different discipline from the acquisition of materials (supply-chain management).
Fastnet RC has its roots in industrial supply-chain management. The Fastnet RC division of Netlink Global Supply Solutions, grew out of a major commitment to managing complex integrated supply chains, where the integration of work teams and materials was critical to both productivity and the velocity of money. Managing over a billion dollars in spend, Netlink Global Supply Solutions had major leverage in the supplier market place and had developed systems and processes that took traditionally slow, relatively uncoordinated supply chains into a high service, high delivery reliability model.
Netlink Global Supply Solutions entered the construction market in 2007, taking on a major residential development in Mexico, and delivering all new systems and processes resulting in over a 25% reduction in materials costs, staged on-site delivery of materials, and just-in-time logistics system. In 2008 we entered full force into the residential, retail, restaurant and hospitality construction markets with the addition of one of the leading construction managers in the industry and his team.
