Janitorial Supply Stores Online
Categorized: Commercial Cleaning Supplies | No comments
Cleaning companies and companies that provide janitorial services often purchase their janitorial supply and janitorial products through large wholesale cleaning supply distributors. This way they can buy at a substantial discount to retail stores. If their janitorial inventory is managed properly, the savings can be huge and translate into large profits for the cleaning service company. The amount of janitorial supplies that a cleaning company has to keep in stock is quite large. If you think about it, they have to keep all their solvents, soaps, paper towels, rags, brushes, brooms, vacuums, polishes, floor buffer equipment, proper safety clothing, equipment repair tools, etc. Not only do they have to stock all this, they have to keep an inventory so they know when to re-order cleaning supplies.
To make things easier for the janitors and janitor service manager, janitor supply stores have traditionally had salesman who often worked directly with the service company manager. The salesman would monitor past cleaning supply order patterns to try and predict what the service company would need in the future weeks and months. The salesman stayed in close communication with the cleaning service managers in order to provide them what they needed as quickly and efficiently as possible. The cleaning supply company salesman would also inform the janitorial service manager of new products that could potentially increase the service company’s profits. For this reason, most janitorial supply companies prefer to work directly with a cleaning supply distributor within the same geographic region of the country, preferably in the same city. In this way they can often speak face to face and develop a close working relationship.
With the development of internet commerce, many janitorial supply distributors are taking their presence online which can reduce their overhead. The obvious advantages to the janitorial service companies are lower prices, easy ordering, and free delivery. These advantages can help reduce costs which can be passed onto the consumer. Janitorial service company managers can view thousands of products for sale, read reviews from other managers, select the cleaning products they want, and make their orders fast and easy. Lost in the new way of doing business is the face-to-face and close working relationship of salesman and managers. Only time will tell whether or not this will affect the quality of service janitorial service companies provide.
