Finding the right suppliers to see the needs of your network of retirement villages is a time-consuming and tedious task, but fear not – we are always ready to help simplify this process.
As we have written about before, there are many factors that you have to take into consideration when choosing a maintenance supplier for your retirement village. Compliance, experience and references are crucial aspects to ensure the delivery of quality services at each village, but there is a lot to say for the benefits that go along with investing in national suppliers.
Save money by opting for national suppliers that have a larger footprint and more resources
First and foremost, choosing national suppliers is cost-effective — for various reasons. The larger the supplier – usually with a national reach – the more likely they are to provide products at lower prices. Securing paint, tools and other maintenance supplies and equipment in bulk for a national network means that you, the end consumer, will pay less. With national suppliers you also save valuable time and cut costs by having a single account to service all of your villages. You don’t have to seek out a different supplier in each city and pay fluctuating amounts (along with receiving different levels of quality). Everything is taken care of by one supplier with standardised prices, ensuring you can better budget and forecast financially.Rest assured of a uniform and consistent delivery of products and services across all villages
Allowing trades people onto your villages’ premises is always a bit of a gamble, regardless of whether you have done your research or not. And while one supplier might truly shine, others could simply be a disappointment. A large portion of this uncertainty and fear can be eliminated by opting for national suppliers with stanardised procedures and levels of compliance – ensuring that each village receives uniform treatment. National suppliers also make use of selected products across all their branches. Again, as they are able to negotiate the best prices, the chances of them providing higher quality products is also more likely. This guarantees that all of your retirement villages, whether in Perth or Brisbane, receive the same level of quality maintenance care.With national suppliers you have one contact to service every village you have in the country
With a guaranteed network of branches at your disposal, national suppliers ensure that you don’t have to fret over finding a different supplier in each city or region. This largely reduces the administration of dealing with various contacts and keeping track of purchase orders and payments. You are assigned a single representative who takes care of the branches, servicing each of your respective villages.Higgins – your national maintenance supplier of choice
