Procurement Solutions

The right part, in your hands, in days, not months.

Nothing hurts like a machine sitting idle waiting for a part that's "8 to 12 weeks ex-works, Europe." Australia is at the end of the world's supply chains, so when shipping hiccups, we feel it first and worst. We fix that with smart sourcing and local stock, without you tying up your cash or your shed.

Australia depends on sea freight for 99.3% of its merchandise trade by volume, so any port delay or global shipping disruption flows straight through to parts availability here.

Spare parts delays are stopping Australian operations right now. Industry suppliers report that global shipping and trade disruptions are again exposing spare parts supply chains, with a single delayed component capable of halting an entire operation.

Where MACH can help

Three ways we keep parts and supplies flowing

Find the parts nobody else can

Spare Parts Sourcing

One-stop sourcing for industrial spares and supplies, including obsolete and hard-to-find parts. We work our supplier network here and overseas so you make one phone call instead of twenty.

  • Locating hard-to-find and obsolete parts through our supplier network
  • Cross-referencing and identifying suitable alternatives
  • Follow-up so purchasing keeps moving
Example scenario

the obsolete drive

A client's machine went down needing a drive that the manufacturer had discontinued. The OEM's answer: upgrade the whole system, $60K, 14-week lead time. We located a compatible replacement through our supplier network and had it on site within days, for under a tenth of the quoted upgrade. The machine was back up the same week.

Your critical spares, held in Australia

Annual Spares Contract

We stock your critical, long-lead-time spares at our facility. You commit to buying them within 12 months, and in return you get the part in 1–2 days anywhere in Australia, no storage space used, no stocktakes, and no cash tied up on a shelf. Every contract starts with a free Annual Spares Consumption Study: we analyse your usage history so you only commit to parts you’ll genuinely use.

  • A free Annual Spares Consumption Study before you commit to anything
  • Critical spares held at our facility, ready in 1–2 days
  • No storage space used, no stocktakes, no cash tied up on a shelf
Holding inventory typically costs 20–30% of its value every year in capital, storage, insurance, and obsolescence.

Example scenario

the gearbox on the shelf

A client's critical gearbox had a 16-week overseas lead time: an unbearable wait if it ever failed. But at $28K, buying one to sit in their store meant dead cash and another thing to count at stocktake. Under an Annual Spares Contract, we held it at our facility instead. When the gearbox finally let go, the replacement was on site in 36 hours. Weeks of potential downtime were avoided, and their capital stayed working in the business until the day they actually needed the part.

All your consumables, one contract

Annual Supplies Contract

From the factory floor to the office (gloves, lubricants, filters, stationery, the lot), under one contract, one account, one delivery rhythm. And we're confident we'll beat your current suppliers on price: bring us your invoices and we'll show you in black and white.

  • Consolidating consumables into one contract and one account
  • Price benchmarking against your current suppliers
  • One delivery rhythm instead of many
Example scenario

one account instead of eleven

A mid-sized operation was buying consumables from 11 different suppliers: 11 accounts, 11 invoice runs, and nobody checking prices for years. We consolidated it into one annual contract, beat their existing pricing across the board, and cut their admin to a single monthly invoice. The savings on product alone ran to five figures a year, before counting the office time saved.
