The Wheel Benefits From Using Supply-LineTalk to us today to see how your organisation could benefit too!
Since Summer 2012 The Wheel has been using the Achilles Supply-Line platform for our ResourcePoint service. This platform allows us to validate compliant suppliers to deliver significant cost savings to our members through a group purchasing model. By using the Achilles Supply Line platform we are ensuring that only compliant, validated and interested suppliers are being shortlisted and invited to tender and a rigorous assessment of the third party suppliers’ reliability and understanding of the needs of our members is conducted. The group tendering route through Supply Line has delivered savings from 5% - 60% on selected Supply Lines. If you are looking for access to 5,000+ suppliers across every supply line imaginable and want to ensure they are validated and competent to work with then you can't go past Achilles as your partner. Many thanks.
