Are you currently purchasing from multiple fuel and lubricant suppliers? Most businesses accumulate suppliers and vendors over the years as new decisions are made and employees with different preferences come and go. But the benefits of consolidating suppliers where possible are considerable.
Here’s a look at three benefits your company can gain from consolidating your supplier relationships:
Buying power. We’re all familiar with the benefits of buying in bulk, and the same benefit applies to your business. If you work with one vendor instead of several, you can ask for better pricing or increased investment from your supplier.
Back office. Each supplier has their own way of doing business. With more suppliers, your employees will have to deal with more people, systems and rules. This added complexity can lead to more mistakes and increased effort. Consolidating can streamline your back office operations.
Business relationships. Are you more likely to build a relationship with someone you see every six months or someone you see every other week? If you consolidate suppliers by selecting your strongest potential ally, you strengthen your relationship with your strongest partner. In the business world, having strong key relationships makes all the difference.
