How we assess your Consignment needs

 

Firstly we visit your business to get a clear understanding of the products you use and what your requirements are.

 

Once we have done an assessment with you, we put together a list of items that we are able provide on consignment to your business.

 

We will supply the agreed lines at the agreed prices to you free of charge and will only invoice you once an item has been used. This allows you to hold stock of all items you need without having to incur stocking costs upfront.

​ 

How does Consignment work?

 

Our consignment solutions are simple, effective and designed to save you money and time.

 

• With you we agree a list of stock that you will require, set the pricing and deliver your stock.

• We open an account for you to help the ordering, replenishing, accounting and invoicing process run smoothly.

• Stock checks are carried out on an agreed interval, normally weekly or two weekly, adn items used are invoiced and replenished. 

 

We will conduct on-site inventory checks from time to time to ensure all levels are accurate and to review your usage and requirements.

 

This allows us to monitor your usage closely so that, where possible, we are able to recommend alternative products, leading to a cost saving or an efficiency benefit to you.
