FAQ
Procurement for System Integrators Questions
Where Does This Process Start
At the bill of materials rather than at the purchase order. Most of the value is in what gets caught before anything is committed.
How Long Does the Review Take
A straightforward list is reviewed within a working day. Programmes with licence tiers and long lead items may take two.
What If a Line Is Discontinued
We say so and propose the successor or an equivalent with the differences stated plainly rather than substituting quietly.
Can Deliveries Be Staged
Yes. Staging against your programme calendar is normal on multi site work and avoids paying to store hardware you cannot install yet.
Do You Provide Documentation for Audit
Yes. Serial lists commercial invoices packing lists and certificate packs in the format your client or auditor requires.
Is There a Minimum Project Size
No. The same review applies to a single unit and to a multi wave programme although the staging and forecasting elements only matter at scale.
