Buyer applications

McGard sourcing by buyer application

Build a sourcing request around how your team sells, installs or replenishes the part.

Three procurement programs

Illustrative sorted wheel weights for a distributor

Aftermarket distribution

Separate fitment variants by SKU and request the finish, material and package quantity on each quote line. For a mixed order, compare one supplier that can apply a common label format with several suppliers that cover more SKUs but may use different lot formats. Ask for carton-label proofs and a matching packing list before consolidation.

Illustrative parked fleet vehicle wheels

Fleet maintenance

Group the order by vehicle and wheel type. For fasteners, send seat and thread data with the duty cycle and quantity per platform so the supplier can separate the quotations. A standard stocked configuration may simplify replenishment when it matches the drawing. A custom finish or seat profile can meet a fixed specification, with a separate sample, tooling and approval review.

Workshop supply

Identify the service task and technician tools. For TPMS valve hardware, compare compatible valve seats, seals and kit contents before deciding which parts to stock together. Check the valve bore and seal stack against a sample wheel, record the supplied kit revision, and ask the installer to verify tool clearance and the relearn procedure.
