Unified supply list of hot melt adhesive granules for graphic and text fast printing chain stores: headquarters procurement follows this approach

The graphic and text fast printing chain provides unified supply of hot melt adhesive granules, and the headquarters can ensure consistent quality and better prices for each store by grasping the six points: unified selection, unified suppliers, delivery to stores, visible inventory, quality retention samples, and quantity accounting. The following list helps the chain headquarters manage the supply of rubber granules.

Six things for unified supply

• Unified selectionHeadquarters designates 1-2 standard rubber particle models (back glue+side glue) to avoid uneven quality and different purchases in each store;
• Unified supplierCentralize contract signing to lock in quantity and price, exchange chain total quantity for better unit price and priority supply;
• Delivery to storeRegular direct distribution according to the weekly usage of each store, reducing store stockpiling and capital occupation;
• Inventory visibilityReport store inventory and usage to headquarters, and automatically replenish if it falls below the safety line;
• Quality retention sampleEach batch of goods should be sampled upon arrival, and any binding issues can be quickly traced;
• Usage accountingCalculate the glue consumption of each store based on their order quantity, and compare horizontally to identify any abnormal stores.

The benefits of unified supply

Implementation Suggestions

The chain headquarters first needs to understand the monthly usage and binding category of each store, and based on this, determine the standard model and annual total quantity, and then negotiate with the manufacturer for lock price direct matching. Guangzhou Sunlife Trading can provide chain customers with unified models, store by store delivery, centralized settlement, and usage accounting services, helping the headquarters turn “each store buys” into “one game supply”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Each store has different binding categories, can we unify the model?
A combination of “universal type+specialized type” can be used: most stores use a unified universal type, while a few stores that make copperplate paper or thin paper are equipped with specialized types, which are both unified and do not sacrifice the effect.

Q: Will unified supply cause a certain store to run out of stock?
As long as safety stock and automatic replenishment lines are set up, headquarters coordination is actually more resistant to stockouts than single store self procurement. Sunlife hot melt adhesive supports delivery according to store cycles.

By establishing a headquarters system with this list, the quality of adhesive packaging and procurement costs of chain stores can be managed simultaneously.
