Supplier consolidation
25th April 2017

QUICKSLIDE has launched a programme of consolidating its list of hardware suppliers in response to pre-Brexit price pressure.
Operations Director Ben Weber explained: “We have already developed supply deals on other materials such as spacer bars and have been able to pass on the benefits to our customers. Now, with the weaker pound impacting on prices everywhere, we aim to offset some of the increases by consolidating our supplier list to share the mutual benefits of better prices for us and our customers and greater volumes for those suppliers.
“In some cases, this has allowed us to bring in new suppliers and many new and better products, and even enabled us to consider product ranges that would otherwise have been too expensive.”
Several preferred companies have been invited to quote for increased amounts of business. One of these, Era Home Security’s Marc Robinson said: “Such relationships benefit everyone down the line. We are able to share the economies of scale by giving keener prices on a much bigger account, Quickslide passes on the benefits to installers, so they in turn have a better offering for their customers.”
