Sourcing & supplier partners
Our supply relies on direct agreements with manufacturers, importers and software publishers, backed by a multi-sourcing strategy to secure availability and purchasing terms.
Three supplier families
Manufacturers
Direct distribution and licensing agreements for the supply of machines, components and peripherals, with preferential volume and associated marketing funds.
Importers
Volume purchasing from referenced importers to complete the range and smooth supply costs and currency risk through multi-sourcing.
Software publishers
Compliant reseller and distribution programmes for the resale of licences (systems, office, security), in strict compliance with publisher terms.
Reliability, compliance, parallelism
Demanding referencing
Each supplier is assessed on financial strength, regulatory compliance (CE, WEEE/DEEE), licence traceability and delivery regularity before referencing.
Multi-sourcing (parallel sourcing)
For each critical family, we maintain at least two qualified sources to reduce dependence on a single supplier and secure continuity of supply.
Product documentation
CE declarations of conformity, WEEE/DEEE supporting documents and licence registers kept for all distributed references.
Volume purchasing
Negotiation of tiers, lead times and supplier returns that feed into our wholesale prices and our ability to absorb end-of-line stock.
