Getting all your immediate technology product needs is now as easy as clicking your mouse thanks to the Purchasing Platform from CCS. It gives you online access to great prices on a range of off-the-shelf IT products. Most importantly, using the Purchasing Platform will help you save you both money and time and offers a compliant route to market.
Buying from the Purchasing Platform can mean an average 8% saving and on some products and as high as 30% compared with Amazon. Prices are updated daily to ensure you are always getting best value.
Using the Purchasing Platform means there is no need to hunt around getting 3 quotes. We’ve done all the hard price comparison work already and on most products you will immediately get at least 3 prices and an industry benchmark price indicating a market target price for that day.
It is totally free to use with pre-agreed terms and conditions with suppliers and if you have any questions CCS is here to help you. You can buy with confidence as we’ve done all the due diligence checks to ensure all suppliers are assured, audited and financially secure. Use your ePCS card and you may even benefit from end of year rebates.
The platform allows you to search and compare all products through an easy-to-use click and buy catalogue. The platform is so flexible it meets different buying scenarios as used by customer organisations. Once you have found your products, you can either pay by card, issues an online purchase order or, hold a fixed price quote for 30 days (should you need approval or use another purchasing system).
When it comes to payment, using the Purchasing Platform could not be easier. There are many ways to pay including using your ePCS card, debit and credit cards. If you need your products really quickly, a next day delivery option is often available.
Using the Purchasing Platform is just one of the many ways that CCS is here to help you with all your technology requirements.
