Vendor management is a very intricate process that involves a lot of time and effort on the part of the client. If you’re just starting out on your retail business, if you’re thinking of branching out into new markets, or if you’re considering a major overhaul of your main goods and services, the consultants at Tritract can get you in touch with reputable vendors around the world and maintain your professional relationships.

Outsourcing your vendor management to a third party frees up more time to focus on the other responsibilities necessary to keep your business up and running. At Tritract, we find you a consultant who is able to negotiate on your behalf and set up fruitful, prosperous relationships with vendors who understand your market and your brand. We take pride in finding you the best solution for your business, whether you're looking for a vendor for long-standing orders or searching for a merchant who can offer you a one-time order of a niche product, we can help facilitate and develop your affiliation. If you already have vendors that you work with and just need a little extra help calculating pay rates, negotiating new terms or assessing overall performance, we can help facilitate that as well.

We believe in helping out our clients long-term, which is why we focus on software solutions for continuing success. Setting up automated orders and deliveries, producing daily, monthly and yearly reports outlining inventory and buying trends, along with the ability to track vendor performance and the price point of competitors helps streamline your business and ensure that your clients always have access to your products and services.

We can help you with all aspects of setting up and controlling your vendor relationships, including:

  • Business goals and objectives
  • Researching and sourcing vendors
  • Contract terms and negotiations
  • Pay rates
  • Points of contact
  • Pricing and quotes
  • Responsibilities
  • Turnaround times
  • Job assignment
  • Performance evaluation

The Vendor Management Process

We operate on a four-step process to ensure that the relationships we set up continue to thrive and grow in a way that benefits all parties involved.

The first step: Identify
Right out of the gate, we work on identifying your vendor needs as a company. Setting up your goals and objectives when it comes to what you’re looking for in a vendor will help our consultants find a wholesaler that checks off all your boxes and can keep up with your demands. If your goal is to make 15% more sales in the next fiscal year, we need to find a vendor who can provide the inventory you need in order to accomplish that, at the right price point and with the right support. We work on narrowing down your target audience and piecing together their wants and needs as well. Catering to your audience will help us understand the type of vendor you need to work with to provide amazing goods and services to your clients. Our consultants will come up with a detailed report outlining your goals and identifying your strongest and weakest areas. From there, we can move forward on finding a solution.

The second step: Analyze
Once our team knows the direction you want to go in, we can start finding possible vendors for your business. We analyze every possibility from multiple viewpoints. How will this vendor relationship affect your business? Will your client base react positively to this change? Does this vendor offer a quality product? Our analysis is extensive, but it’s one of the reasons our clients trust our work. Having all of the answers before you need to ask the question puts you one step ahead of your competition. We narrow down your options and present who we think will offer you the best goods at the best price point. We have contacts at vendors across the globe who are ready and willing to offer you their service. The companies we work with all operate at a very high standard – we never recommend a vendor we wouldn’t go into business with ourselves, that you can count on!

The third step: Strategize
Maintaining a flourishing relationship with your vendors takes effort – effort that we’re willing to put in for you! Negotiating contracts, setting price points and keeping detailed performance notes are just some of the ways we help you strategize and cultivate a long-lasting relationship. Having a blueprint helps you see one step ahead at all times, and we’re committed to implementing strategies that can help you get there. Through the introduction of automated tracking, you won’t have to worry about how your vendors are performing. Report generation and push notifications will keep you informed of any and all changes to deliveries, delays and changes in vendors. If you have any issues at all, we find a way to mediate and rectify the situation with little impact to your bottom line. If a vendor isn’t working out, we negotiate for you. If you need to end a business relationship, we can help ensure that everything goes smoothly. Put your trust in us and we won’t let you down.

The fourth step: Results
Lastly, we want to make sure that you are getting consistent and dependable service both from us at Tritract and from your vendors. Being able to track your results and visually see what’s working and what isn’t will help you stay on track or easily regain control if ever things go awry. We compare your results to the report we put together in the identification phase that outlined your goals and ensure that you are still working towards accomplishing those initial objectives that you set out to conquer. We work with you to make sure that there is upward movement in sales and that you are routinely impressed with your suppliers. We’re devoted to your success and it shows in the stories of our clients. When you side with us you side with consistency, reliability and commitment.

Don't Get Lost In The Shuffle

Most vendors deal with a lot of companies, big and small. Being able to communicate with them and have your voice heard is something that’s important to us at Tritract. We can help you negotiate pricing, contracts, delivery times, recurring orders, anything you may feel intimidated by. On the other side, you might be working with a myriad of different vendors – all with different contract terms and price points. It can get overwhelming and hectic trying to deal with all the different contacts at all the different retailers. Let us take care of the maintenance for you, so that you can take care of your business and have some peace of mind.
