// THE PROCUREMENT DESK

FF&E sourcing. Across the brief.

Bulk procurement, supplier coordination, fit-out scheduling, customs handling.

The Procurement Desk is Archalign's project sourcing arm — for hotel groups, restaurant chains, fit-out contractors, property developers, and architects-of-record placing complex multi-line supply orders. We act as your outsourced procurement department: sourcing approved suppliers across furniture, lighting, hospitality consumables and operational equipment; managing the supplier pipeline through specification, quote, order, delivery, customs and reconciliation.
