Embracing
Supplier Relationship Management

3. Amidst limited resources and remote work during the
peak of COVID pandemic, our strong, long-term
partnership with the food and beverage service provider
proved invaluable in facilities management.
With their unwavering support, even with only 5 or 20
resources in the office, our employees were provided with
meals, ensuring a smooth and stress-free work
environment
Building Lasting Partnerships

4. In one of my previous organisations (26 million sqft.) with
multiple buildings we faced challenges, such as delays in
receiving maintenance equipment and materials, high costs
due to redundant inventory, and difficulty in coordinating
with multiple suppliers.
We decided to establish a strategic partnership with a select
group of suppliers, who could offer reliable and high-quality
products at competitive prices.
We also implemented an automated inventory
management system.
We significantly reduced lead times for equipment, cost
savings through long-term contracts, and improved
coordination with suppliers.
Streamlining the Supply Chain

5. During a period of extremely heavy rain, our facilities faced
the risk of flooding due to drainage system vulnerabilities.
Leveraging our strong relationship with the maintenance
service provider, they conducted preemptive inspections
and promptly addressed potential drainage issues before
the heavy rain season.
As a result of this proactive approach, we avoided flooding
incidents, preventing damage to our facilities and valuable
equipment. The swift action taken by our maintenance
service provider exemplified the essence of Supplier
Relationship Management, allowing us to effectively
mitigate risks, maintain uninterrupted operations, and
ensure a safe and secure facility for all stakeholders.
Mitigating Risks

6. We faced issues with inconsistent service, delayed
responses, and occasional quality lapses from multiple
suppliers providing HVAC maintenance, janitorial services,
and landscaping.
We established clear performance metrics and SLAs with
each supplier.
By involving our suppliers in setting these metrics and
providing regular feedback, Response time for critical HVAC
issues reduced by 40%, scheduled maintenance
completion rates increased by 25%.
This success in elevating supplier performance improved
the overall quality of facilities management services and
strengthened our relationship with suppliers.
Enhancing Supplier
Performance

7. At Mumbai in one of our offices, we implemented a digital
Workplace Solutions platform, through effective SRM
practices. The platform streamlined entire complaint
tracking , snag management, asset tracking, and
preventive maintenance scheduling.
The Result: The digital platform provided real-time visibility
into facility maintenance activities, allowing for swift
response to issues and proactive maintenance. It
streamlined communication between stakeholders,
reducing administrative burdens and enabling faster issue
resolution.
Fostering Innovation

8. In collaboration with a janitorial service provider, We
requested the use of eco-friendly cleaning products.The
supplier adopted green cleaning methods and provided
recyclable cleaning materials.
By implementing environmentally friendly cleaning
solutions we demonstrated our commitment to
sustainability and environmental conservation. The
organization's eco-friendly initiatives boosted employee
morale and enhanced our reputation as an
environmentally conscious company.
Adherence to Standards and
Regulations

9. During an office renovation project, where through close
collaboration and open communication with client, we
optimized their floor plan, boosting productivity,
satisfaction, and cost-efficiency.
This mutual growth gave us a competitive edge,
becoming a top choice for modern workspaces,
showcasing the power of strong supplier relationships in
Corporate Real Estate services can drive innovation,
mutual growth, and ultimately lead to a competitive
advantage in the industry.
Strong Supplier Relationship
