HOW PURCHASING SUPPORT WORKS
From an upcoming need
to a completed purchase.
Send us a purchase that needs attention. We organize the requirements, gather comparable quotes and coordinate the follow-up within an agreed scope.
Your GM or department lead stays in control of specifications, supplier selection and spending approval.
Discuss your first purchase ↗- 01
Share the purchase and agree the scope
Tell us what you need, how much, where it must arrive and when. Share a recent invoice or current quote if you have one. We agree the work, timeline and service fee before starting.
You provide: the item, quantity, deadline, available purchasing records and an approval contact.
- 02
Confirm the specifications and baseline
We clarify product details, pack sizes, artwork, delivery needs and acceptable alternatives with your team. We document a comparable current cost so a lower price is measured against the same purchase.
You approve: the requirements and any proposed product substitutions. Technical equivalence stays with the relevant department lead.
- 03
Request and compare written quotes
We contact suitable suppliers and compare product cost, freight, tax, available rebates, minimum orders, lead times and payment terms. Existing vendors and any buying programs you already use can be included.
We handle: quote requests, supplier questions and a comparison using matching quantities and specifications.
- 04
Recommend an option for your approval
You receive the supplier comparison and a written recommendation explaining cost, delivery and quality tradeoffs. The lowest price may not be the best choice if it cannot meet your requirements.
You decide: whether to proceed, stay with your current supplier or request more information. No supplier change or order is made without your approval.
- 05
Coordinate the order and delivery
After approval, we help coordinate the order with your authorized purchaser, confirm the supplier’s delivery commitment and follow up on delays or missing items. Your staff confirms what arrives.
Your course: remains the buyer and pays the supplier directly. Ordering authority and follow-up responsibilities are agreed in advance.
- 06
Review the invoice and document the result
We compare the final invoice with the approved order and flag differences for resolution. Any savings are calculated using the actual quantity and delivered cost, then reviewed with your course contact.
You receive: a purchase record, any outstanding actions and a savings summary. Quoted savings stay separate from verified results.
WHAT YOUR COURSE RECEIVES
A clear record
of the purchasing work.
For the scope you agree, you receive practical documents your team can review and keep alongside its existing purchasing and accounting records.
A supplier comparison
Written pricing, delivered costs, lead times and terms, with supporting quotes and a recommendation explaining the tradeoffs.
An order and action tracker
Approval references, order details, promised delivery dates and follow-up actions so your team can see what is still outstanding.
A documented outcome
Invoice differences and verified cost reductions, supported by the agreed baseline and actual purchase records. Service fees are shown separately.
Fits around the way your course already buys
You can keep your current accounting or golf-management system. Start by sharing invoices, quotes and requirements through an agreed channel. Your existing supplier relationships remain part of the comparison, and your team retains purchasing approval.
