About Us
Founded in April 2001 Computer Direct is the model as a computer supplier of the 21 st century to the business community. The business consists as a onestop shop to both the private and public sector.
Our Objective
Computer Direct seek to provide organisations a single source supply for all Hardware, Software and General Computer Supplies.
This includes every thing from toners and ink cartridges to printers and servers.
We will achieve this by utilising our distributor and manufacturing supply network. Computer Direct operates by nominating a dedicated team to manage the logistics of supplying customers. Our commitment is to providing an excellent service that adds value to the service you already receive.
You are probably aware that the pound for pound bottom line impact of the margin enhancement afforded by operational cost management is startling especially when compared with only fractional increases in profits realised through revenuefocused initiatives. There are actually very few actions that can deliver such disproportionate dividends. That is why we consider our ability to save you money over the course of a supply contract as important as any other function within your organization.
- Why Change from your current supplier?
- Are there risks involved in changing?
- Is price a reason?
- Are we substantially cheaper than your current supplier?
Most companies would expect their current suppliers to match most prices the competition can present. If the prices are substantially less would this affect service. If your current supplier is prepared to match substantially reduced pricing why are they not doing it now?
When was the last time your supplier dropped their prices without being prompted?
The Internet and the visibility it provides you, can afford customers to get the ideal balance between price and service. In a buyers market there is no need for longterm contracts, all they do is tie companies into uncompetitive pricing over the long term. The main characteristic of the supplies market is a trend towards falling prices over a period of time.
How often do you change? Every time you get a better price?
Decision makers use their expectations and standards to shape their organisations. This is met by reviewing and revising needs and objectives, then evaluating resources and constraints. Although change is almost always an opportunity it is also a task. It forces us to confront numerous service issues. Sometimes it is an easier option to continue to deal with the devil you know: Quite often it is not the right option if there are additional benefits to be had with other supply chain partners. The purpose of this information is to make you aware that Computer Direct can provide a viable option to your current suppliers.
WHY COMPUTER DIRECT?
Computer Direct is a supplies organisation that specialises in supplying a particular market with a service. We position ourselves in this because we feel that we can provide the highest level of support to our customers by meeting the needs of a specific section of the market. It is our objective for you to view us as your partners in success.
The responsibility for purchasing computer supplies, copier and fax consumables has often been split between different departments due to the nature of these products and how they are used. This has not always lent itself to strategic procurement or where it has been attempted, it has been characterised by the duplication of the purchasing process or maverick buying. Both of these processes lead to inefficiency and increased costs.
Our existence is predicated on reliability and dependability. These are the most important elements of our service. We also understand that there is a high level of decision support required in assisting you to make the right decisions for your company.
We feel as a supplier we can help you to become more profitable by reducing your total cost of purchasing. Far too often we see companies that focus only on the acquisition cost of purchasing products.
We will work in conjunction with your purchasing department handling all the enquiries for fax, copier, and colour toner and ink cartridges.
