Information for Procurement
Everything your procurement team needs for supplier assessment: scope of services, ordering routes, certifications, data protection and terms – on one page.
For many procurement departments, promotional products and merchandise are a sideshow – with many small orders, changing suppliers and unclear costs. We bundle all of this in a framework agreement: one supplier for sourcing, finishing, warehousing, ordering platform and shipping, with ordering from SAP and costs per cost centre.
One supplier instead of many individual orders
On this page you will find the information procurement departments typically need for supplier assessment: what the framework agreement covers, which ordering routes are available, which certifications we hold and how we handle data and terms. If anything is missing for your assessment, send your questionnaire to info@unicum-merchandising.com.
