In the context of increasingly severe market competition and rapid development of hotel industry, purchase plays a more and more important role in hotel management. Called as the company’s “third profit source”, today’s purchase is more than buying things as thought traditionally. Rather, it shall be conducted strategically. All brand management groups, either domestic or abroad, purchase as a whole. In fact, the strategy of purchase as a whole has been proved as an effective way for companies to decrease cost and increase profit. Companies will greatly benefit from this strategy and become more competitive.
The strategy of purchase as a whole is in practice in Tianlun International Hotel Management Group. By taking advantage of purchase in batches, Tianlun Group is able to buy things for its all hotels at the lowest price and finally maximize their profit. Moreover, the property owners will benefit from this strategy, too. The strategy reflects the advantages of group operation.
Now the strategy has been launched. The Management Group will choose manufacturers and first-class product agents as eligible suppliers after market research, site investigation, open bidding or quality and price comparison. For the same type of product, the final purchase price will be lower than that of individual project. Hotels can decrease their cost by reducing the intermediate steps.
Three types of articles will be purchased as a whole:
1. Equipment purchased before hotel opening: electrical appliances, kitchen appliances, cooking ware, tableware, glassware, chinaware and silverware.
2. Articles purchased when preparing for the opening: one-off supplies and amenities, cotton fabrics, linen, laundry products, office supplies, paper products, plastics, wines, drinks, uniforms, and work shoes and socks. More articles for labor safety may be purchased after the hotel is opened.
3. Any products that can be purchased at a lower price for better quality by the strategy.

In a word, the ultimate goals of purchase as a whole are to maximize the property owner’s benefits, to satisfy the customers as possible as we can and to maximize the brand effect. Service, profit and development are our concern when practicing the strategy. Each partner will benefit from the strategy and develop well.
