On any construction job, there are a lot of moving pieces that must be seamlessly coordinated in order to stay on track with project timelines. Many contractors have chosen to simplify this process by selecting a single source supplier for all of their countertop and surface needs. Not only does this save them time by eliminating the need to coordinate multiple suppliers, orders and deliveries, it can also lead to increased profit margins.
At L.E. Smith, we take our role as your partner seriously. As a result, here are a few of the advantages our clients benefit from when they trust us to be their single-source supplier for all of their countertop and surface needs.
Consistency in quality
When you work with one supplier for all of your countertop and surface needs, you can rely on consistent quality with every order you place. That consistency will not only give you peace of mind, it will also help your company build a strong reputation for quality materials. According to an article by invensis.net, “businesses gain in efficiency as well as in delivering an improved customer service experience when they choose a single source […] partner.”
