// THE BRIEF
The UK fit-out market is £9.85bn (Barbour ABI 2025). Hospitality and retail alone are roughly £3bn of that — and the procurement-consultant layer that sits above the catalogue is fragmented, slow, and has no AI-native winner. Archalign is built for that gap. Below is why a procurement team at Marriott UK, Costa, Caffè Nero, or a Build-to-Rent operator should put us on the panel.
Three tiers of supplier exist today. The middle one is empty.
TIER 1
Industrial-scale catering and FF&E houses. Massive SKU coverage, next-day despatch, ruthless on price. But their delivery model is shipping, not sequencing — one despatch window per line, no coordination across categories, no alignment to your site programme.
TIER 2 · THE GAP
Interior Architecture-trained specification, AI-augmented supplier benchmarking and lead-time projection, multi-vendor consolidation, UK-bonded staging, site-sequenced delivery. One quote, one PO, one delivery programme across every line your project needs.
TIER 3
Aggressive pricing, single-supplier scope, almost no customer service. Workable for one-line orders. Not credible as the supplier of record on an £100k+ fit-out.
01
A discipline lead reviews your scope and writes the spec before we price. You receive an FF&E schedule, not a basket.
02
Internal AI stack compares price, lead time, freight and stock across our verified network before quoting. You get the best routing automatically.
03
One PO across furniture, lighting, soft furnishings and consumables. We carry the supplier conversations so you don't run eight in parallel.
04
Items arrive at a UK bonded warehouse, get sorted and labelled by 1st-fix / 2nd-fix / accent sequence before they leave for your site.
05
Booked with your PM — not "expect delivery this week" despatch-window roulette. 12-week programme →
06
If the opening date can be saved we replace. Refund only if it can't. Defects replaced within 5 working days.
07
24-hour acknowledgement · 72-hour discipline-lead involvement on unresolved issues. Meet the desk →
