At Federated Service Solutions, we love deploying big IT networks all across the United States, but what really makes our day is when we get to help businesses do business better. In our quest to make your business a more efficient, happier, and productive place we’ve developed a program that delivers the IT equipment you need at prices you’ll love: Material Procurement.
But don’t just take our word for it — today we’re talking with FSS’ Director of Sales, Robin Biko, to get a big-picture perspective on why retail, corporate, or any company with some serious IT equipment needs should listen up about our now widely available Material Procurement solutions.
What is Federated Service Solutions Material Procurement?
Over the past twenty years, we’ve been working day in and day out to build networks, install new systems, and handle some pretty massive deployment projects. We’ve also been steadily growing and strengthening our relationships with some amazing equipment and logistics vendors all across the States.
And, like all good relationships, we’ve seen some pretty incredible benefits — things like mind-blowingly good deals on cutting-edge IT equipment, lowered freight costs, and more. And, since we love our customers more than anything in this world, we’re able to pass along these deals on to your businesses, too.
“For example, when we do a CCTV installation for a retail company, we can provide the cameras, the TVs, anything they need,” explains Robin. “We purchase all the equipment they need.”
Not only can FSS’s buying power help your business cut costs, but it also makes deployments a more pain-free and much less intrusive process.
“We also purchase all of the equipment necessary to do an install, if necessary,” says Robin. “If a company is doing a remodel and they know the equipment they’ll need, we can either purchase it or the customer can provide it. Often, we find that our purchasing power allows us to save our customers money.”
We like to think of ourselves as a one-stop-shop, combining equipment purchasing with timely delivery and our team of expert Field Technicians. “If we purchase it, the equipment will arrive the same day our field technicians do,” Robin continues. “We’re responsible for both. So customers don’t have to delay their project completion date because there’s no equipment when the tech shows up or vice versa.”
And, since we already deploy IT network equipment in hundreds of locations all over the country, we can also save more money thanks to our high-volume purchase orders. So, we’re not just negotiating prices for ourselves but for you too!
Now, you might be saying to yourself, “Wow, that sounds like a ton of equipment…where would you happen to store all of that leading up to its deployment?” You’re in luck; check out our Warehousing Services, which allows you to take advantage of our strategically located warehouses and distribution centers to store your equipment, save inventory space, and ensure you get your most important IT equipment exactly when you need it.
How Does Federated Coordinate Material Procurement?
“Every single project we do has a Project Manager that is assigned to the account,” Robin explains. “So, there’s a single throat to choke — if something goes wrong, you know who to talk to, and our Project Manager can resolve it.”
While our Project Managers prefer the term “a single hand to shake,” the meaning remains the same: each project has a single point of contact for customers to reach out to whenever they may need to.
“We want to be a long-term partner over short-term gain,” Robin continues. “If something goes wrong, we’ll own it, and we’ll fix it.”
At Federated Service Solutions, we believe in an elevated customer service experience. This means helping you work smarter and more efficiently over the long term rather than prescribing quick fixes.
Material Procurement is a shining example of our commitment to partnerships. It originated because some of our customers were asking for it, and we were able to deliver — and then even more customers wanted in on it!
“Companies want to do more business with less vendors,” Robin states. “In this instance, you have just one project manager to deal with, and he makes sure he gets things done the way you want things done.”
