Taking Cost Out

In addition to offering competitive pricing on our products, we understand the total cost of procurement. A recent survey of large organizations put the overhead cost of a purchase (excluding the actual cost of the goods) at £72.

We concentrate on providing our clients a level of service and even more importantly a range of facilities designed to cut down their administrative work. We provide full management reporting and budgetary information (monthly by department or cost centre, or in any combination or variation). We have our own in-house I.T. department and can produce reports specifically tailored to clients’ requirements. 

We can offer a range of ordering & invoicing/payment options, including: 

·         Single invoices per order which can be directed either to the cost centre concerned or to one central point.       or 

·         Consolidated/batched invoicing (monthly by department or cost centre); supported by management reports. 

·         Call-off order facility.       with 

·         Monitoring of spend by cost-centre and advising when spend has reached a pre-set trigger (eg 75% of annual budget) 

·         Invoice, etc, information can be transmitted to clients electronically (EDI). 

·         Integration with client’s IT systems as required. 

·         Payment via BACS. 

·         Corporate Purchasing card facility with full VAT documentation. 

·         Order pads – individualised if necessary for each department. 

·         Stock-checking or advisory visits as required. 

And most importantly 

·         A fully customisable eProcurement system, which has been designed to offer a quick & efficient route to on-line ordering.
