WHY USE A SINGLE SOURCE SUPPLIER?
3 minute read
Running a business is challenging enough without the hassle of juggling multiple suppliers for essential products like PPE, workwear, cleaning supplies, workplace essentials, and tools & equipment. The more suppliers you deal with, the more complex things become - delayed deliveries, multiple invoices, inconsistent product quality, and endless back-and-forth communications.
So, what’s the solution? A single source supplier.
At SMI, we take the stress out of procurement by providing everything you need, all in one place. We’re easy to deal with, industry experts, and committed to keeping your business running smoothly.
Here’s why choosing a single source supplier isn’t just smart, it’s a game-changer.
1. LESS HASSLE, MORE PRODUCTIVITY
Imagine ordering all your essential supplies from one reliable supplier instead of spending hours chasing the rest. One order. One invoice. One point of contact. That means fewer headaches, fewer emails, and more time to focus on what truly matters - your business.
2. INDUSTRY EXPERTS WHO ACTUALLY "GET IT"
Not all suppliers understand your business needs, and those providing tailored products for your sector are hard to come by.
- Need PPE that meets the latest safety regulations? We’ve got you covered.
- Looking for durable workwear that keeps your team comfortable and protected? No problem.
- Searching for effective cleaning supplies to maintain hygiene standards? We have the best.
With our deep industry knowledge, you’ll always get the right products for the right job - without the guesswork.
3. RELIABLE SUPPLY, EVERY TIME
Ever had a supplier miss a delivery deadline, leaving your team stranded without essential gear?
We know how damaging that can be. That’s why, as your single source supplier, we ensure:
- 98% of delivery on-time, in-full – Going above and beyond, no excuses.
- Consistent stock availability – With our 97% stock availability, you never run out of the essentials.
- Seamless reordering – Get what you need, when you need it.
With us, you’ll never be caught off guard.
3. SAVE MONEY WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY
Managing multiple suppliers isn’t just time-consuming - it’s expensive. Hidden fees, inconsistent pricing, and separate delivery costs all add up.
By consolidating your orders with a single source supplier, you:
- Cut down on admin costs – One supplier = fewer invoices & less paperwork.
- Reduce delivery fees – No more paying for multiple shipments from different suppliers. There’s an eco benefit to this too!
- Get better pricing – Bulk buying means bigger savings for your business.
More efficiency. More savings. What’s not to love?
4. A SUPPLIER THAT IS ACTUALLY EASY TO WORK WITH
Let’s face it, some suppliers can be a nightmare to deal with.
We take a different approach: hassle-free service, straight-talking communication, and customer-first support. Whether you need advice on the best products, help with an urgent order, or simply a supplier who actually listens, we’re here to make your life easier.
