Building supplier Ferguson connects remote workers to serve consumers

Ferguson is the largest U.S. wholesale supplier of commercial and residential plumbing, lighting, and HVAC supplies. With Azure NetApp Files and Windows Virtual Desktop from Microsoft, Ferguson expedited its cloud journey to enable a remote workforce of 14,000 in just one weekend, allowing the company to maintain its first-rate service levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’ve improved the experience for our supply chain, which translates into helping our customers and our contractors.

Scott Wright, Senior Cloud Architect, Ferguson

The data and analytics allow Ferguson to have a clear view of inventory, performance, and location availability, and accurately evaluate how they can spread out the stock load and availability of component parts based on where they’re needed throughout North America.
