The Power of the Allied Wire/GCG and Beyond Vision Partnership

3/15/2024

Allied Wire & Cable, a division of Genuine Cable Group, stands as one of the United States' premier distributors of wire and cable solutions. Spearheading our commitment to excellence is Robb Birmingham, the Director of Branch Operations for our Pewaukee, WI and Grapevine, TX locations- whose visionary leadership has led the company to new heights.

In the pursuit of efficiency and customer satisfaction, Robb and his team encountered a challenge. A specific customer demand required small retail quantities of wire, a task outside our usual scope and highly labor-intensive. Despite internal efforts, finding a solution proved elusive, impacting profitability and operational efficiency.

Enter Beyond Vision, a pioneering organization located in West Allis, WI (about 15 minutes from Allied's Pewaukee location) dedicated to providing meaningful employment opportunities for the visually impaired. Robb, familiar with Beyond Vision's mission and impressed by their dedication, saw a potential solution. After an encounter on LinkedIn, Robb reached out to Beyond Vision, initiating a partnership that would revolutionize our operations.

The collaboration with Beyond Vision proved transformative. Through onsite visits and facility tours, Robb personally witnessed Beyond Vision's streamlined processes, innovative solutions, and unwavering commitment to quality and safety. Beyond Vision not only optimized existing processes but also introduced enhancements that significantly improved speed, accuracy, and efficiency.

With Beyond Vision's expertise, Robb and his crew experienced a remarkable turnaround. What was once a labor-intensive task became a seamless operation, with zero quality issues and a newfound ability to fulfill orders promptly. The partnership empowered us to not only meet but exceed customer expectations, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Beyond addressing immediate operational challenges, the partnership with Beyond Vision embodies a deeper commitment to social responsibility. By providing meaningful employment opportunities for visually impaired individuals, we not only fulfill our business objectives but also contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society. 

In conclusion, the partnership between AWC and Beyond Vision exemplifies the convergence of business excellence and social responsibility. Through innovation, dedication, and a shared commitment to making a difference, they have not only transformed operations but also empowered communities, leaving a lasting impact on all those they serve.
