Buildbase currently operates a number of standalone stores in local branches with dedicated trade counter and warehousing facilities for its partners. These have been built and stocked exclusively for these customers and are managed by fully trained, knowledgeable staff. All our clients’ product requirements are kept in one place so there is no need to travel to multiple locations. The materials in these stores are owned and controlled by Buildbase so that partners no longer have money tied up in stock or risk damage and loss.
Key Benefits
Where a partner requires, it may be appropriate to set up and operate a dedicated stores at the customer’s premises or a dedicated unit local to the housing stock. Once again these are manned by fully trained and experienced personnel. The stores are run as a mini-branch with Buildbase staff handling all stock control and order processing. Suppliers and manufacturers deliver direct to the stores with backup from the local GMGB businesses.
Key Benefits
For some of our customers a more cost-effective solution is to provide a dedicated trade counter service within the existing GMGB branch. This again is manned by GMGB fully trained staff with a dedicated area within the existing warehouse and store for the customer’s materials. By using the dedicated counter and the ‘call and collect’ service, operatives are not kept waiting to collect materials.
