Bulk
Purchasing. It has often been
our experience that our clients frequently experience the most
disappointment with local item purchases not meeting their cost
expectations or quality standards. Too many times, local items such as
alcohol and drinking water are charged on a 'per unit basis'. Inevitably
this makes your 'on-the-ground' expenditures higher than you expected.
In fact, this is the most common cause for going over budget.
It is for this reason that we provide our
clients a bulk purchasing service for comfort items (alcohol, drinking
water, cool towels, t-shirts etc) and exotic items (pillow gifts,
garlands, souvenirs etc). Because we represent dozens of clients,
Evention can secure greater economies-of-scale from multi-source
suppliers than any single client. It is common for us to secure higher
item quality at lower unit cost than any local supplier or hotel.
Furthermore, particular brands or items may also be unavailable
'locally' whereas we can bring these in as part of our cargo manifest.
We are also
transparent! We gather multiple quotations for each
item and submit these to our client along with our
recommendation based upon supplier reliability.
While we do charge a small service fee against each
third-party invoice, this is more than offset by the
savings we secure each client. At the same time, we
also remove the worry (and risk?) from this part of
your project, particularly since we also arrange any
necessary storage and distribution of the items we
have purchased on your behalf.
Ultimately, our bulk purchasing service
has organised all your bulk purchasing items in advance of arrival; and
most importantly, within your planned budget! |
