Any successful business recognises the importance of having a reliable supplier who can consistently supply them with their workplace consumables. But what is the reasoning behind this?
According to Johann Blom, co-owner of Paper Boss, there are 5 main benefits to working with a supplier who can consistently offer you the ability to maintain good workplace consumable stock control:
- Creates an organised workplace
- Helps you save money
- Helps you save time
- Increases efficiency and productivity within your business
- Conveys professionalism to your customers
Creates An Organised Workplace
When your staff has access to all the business consumables they need, to perform their duties to the best of their abilities, they can direct their focus to more essential tasks at hand. However, you do not want to clutter up valuable office space by holding too much stock on hand. Johann Blom, co-director of Paper Boss further elaborates; “Our Paper Boss customers know that if they place an order with us, not only will they have their stock delivered free of charge but they will also get it faster than most other suppliers can offer”.
Helps You Save Money
When you build a relationship with a trusted supplier, you can be sure to be kept in the loop when there are really good ‘specials’ on products that you and your staff consistently use. This is a sure-fire way of saving money over the long run.
Helps You Save Time
When busy, it is easy to let things slip through the cracks. However, running out of much-needed material leads to wasted time. Time lost on trying to find the consumables you need, and time lost when you have to go collect the consumables.
“Our customers love that we offer each of them a dedicated Key Account Manager,” says Johann. “They are there to ensure our clients get contacted every two weeks. This way, our clients do not have to take time out of their busy day to compile lists and contact a supplier, or in some cases, various suppliers. We like to think that we ensure our clients have everything they need before they need it”.
Increases Efficiency and Productivity Within Your Business
Having a supplier that can consistently supply you with your business consumables leads to more efficiency and productivity within your business. Waiting for material to arrive is not the correct way to optimise your workflow. Make sure that your supplier can supply all you need – when you need it and watch your productivity soar.
Conveys Professionalism to Your Customers
Johann Blom elaborates that “Running out of consumables, especially when they are consumables your business uses regularly, is not an option any longer. These consumables play a more important role in your business than a lot of people realise, as inefficient operations convey the message of inefficient service”.
Johann makes a valuable point here. Your business can lose clients because you appear disorganised, and this is why it is so important to use a supplier that will help you by ensuring that you consistently have what you need for your business to flourish.
