Supplier challenges and opportunities
Suppliers are facing a multitude of challenges in today’s construction market. The increasing cost of raw materials and fuel are driving down margins and at the same time clients and major contractors are reducing their supply base. Suppliers are also being asked to comply with increasingly stringent standards for pre-qualification and compliance, with each client or major contractor specifying their own requirements.
Against this backdrop suppliers are increasingly using Achilles services to:
- Reduce the need to pre-qualify multiple times for the same customers
- Attain respected 3rd party accreditation
- Demonstrate excellence within the industry
- Benchmark themselves against their competitors.
Using these services, customers are reducing the costs associated with pre-qualification, whilst measuring themselves against industry best practise. This is helping to forge longer lasting and more profitable relationships with key customers.
