SUPPLIER REPORTS

Members of our team can visit potential suppliers in order to ascertain that the company actually produce what they sell; a response to the widespread prevalence of companies which will work with businesses manufacturing related products leading to situations whereby maybe half a dozen companies will contribute to a catalogue, each having each other’s products as part of their range.

However these companies do tend to pass goods between each other at very reasonable margins, so this is not always a bad thing, but certainly worth verifying.

We can also check out the financial status of a supplier so that we do not buy from a financially-unstable company. We consistently assert the mentality that we need reliable and genuine despatch times, as so many will quote a quick despatch time to get an order, only to take a lot longer than promised to send the goods and treating it as normal. One of the most important things we look for, aside from just the quality and reliability of the product(s), is a professional and reliable work ethic that is acceptable to the customer, even when based in an area which generally carries a different work mentality to their own.

We are a go-between for both customer and supplier, and pride ourselves in

building long-term, smooth and easy working relationships. A large percentage of our contracts begin when we have been called in to solve discrepancies and seemingly-major problems with the supplier, which in fact evaporate as total misunderstandings. We have taken over all communications and paperwork, in the process gaining a discount from the supplier and kick-starting many years of peaceful trading, with the supplier paying our commission so the customer pays no more. We can provide our customers with a detailed report of our findings in regards to suppliers, ensuring you get the service, quality and fair price you seek.
