Need to keep your business running smoothly? We can take care of that with our One Stop Shop philosophy
AT NZ SAFETY BLACKWOODS, we believe in making things easier for you and your business – and that includes procurement.
We take care of the everyday things you simply need to be there – uniforms and safety gear for your team, tools and equipment for everyday maintenance projects, packaging for your products and hygiene and cafeteria consumables – leaving you to focus on your core business. Our expertise lies in the sourcing and buying of these everyday essentials, something we’ve been doing for over 70 years. We can significantly reduce your administration and procurement costs through consolidated invoicing and collective buying power.
OUR ONE SOURCE programme is a cost effective way of analysing, benchmarking and understanding the total cost of procurement for high volume, medium to lower risk consumables. We can lower the hidden costs of procurement, like the time spent searching for the best price on individual products, which can result in fewer deliveries, fewer invoices, less order process time and less handling time. Because we understand you’d rather spend time focusing on your core business, we make procurement simpler for you. With NZ Safety Blackwoods as your main supplier of your everyday business essentials, with the best prices across the widest range, your total cost of procurement can be reduced significantly. When it comes to your business, you’re the expert. That’s why our Account Managers spend time learning about your business before delivering solutions to help it run like a well-oiled machine. Our expertise lies in sourcing and supplying your everyday business essentials.
WE WORK WITH YOU to understand the requirement of each area that each product will be used in, including look and feel, core applications, quality and end user feedback. We analyse and measure each product brand that has passed the ‘fit for use’ stage by breaking each product down to base unit, analysing all cost aspects associated with the product, and comparing true cost of each product.
WE MAKE PROCUREMENT simpler for you so you can spend time concentrating on your core business.. By being your main supplier for everyday business essentials, we provide just one invoice, saving you the time you used to spend dealing with multiple orders from a range of suppliers.
We calculate and report all costs of procuring each product group through order placement methods, process steps of ordering and completing the purchase, the number of orders completed per month and by reducing the amount of vendors.
WE DELIVER VALUE via better prices across the widest range thanks to our collective buying power. Combine this great pricing with the lower administration costs of dealing with one supplier and your procurement costs will reduce quickly.
We use extensive market knowledge to pinpoint market price brands for a particular product or product group, allowing you to have a range of options to suit all price points across most product categories, to leverage your combined purchasing volume to get the best value for money and to decrease time spent collecting and obtaining correct information.
We work with you every step of the way to ensure you always receive a complete range of everyday consumables, at the right price, from one place – no matter where you are in New Zealand. With 32 branches nationwide, a NZ Safety Blackwoods Trade Centre is never far away. We give you the convenience of phone, fax or web ordering, immediate pickup or fast delivery which means your business isn’t slowed down by lack of supplies.
Finally, we can continue to lower the costs of procurement by:
◗ Reducing the number of orders
◗ Reducing the number of credits and backorders
◗ Providing improved delivery performance
◗ Providing a monthly consolidated invoice
With NZ Safety Blackwoods, we take care of all compliance requirements, whether that’s product safety, product compliance or standards, ethical sourcing and sustainability. When it’s important to you, it’s important to us.
