A good relationship with the supplier is essential in every business, especially in Construction market. When it comes to that, factors such as the level of productivity and the quality of service are more than at stake. But do you know how to find excellent suppliers for your artifact factory from concrete?
The reputation for the commitment of the professional alliances made in this sector is not the best. There are several stories of unpaid deliveries, delays, materials purchased and not delivered, products with malfunctions or in the wrong quantity.
All of this hinders the business, compromising the quality, performance and profitability of your plant. Therefore, in this article, we are going to rid you of going through a bad experience in the search for good partnerships. Check out our tips on how to find suppliers!
In-depth research is essential in the search for new supply relationships. It is essential that you seek references regarding the performance of vendor in the market. Learn about the company's reputation through contact with its clients and, if possible, with those who withdrew from the contract.
The price quote is another research item that you need to look at, comparing the options researched. However, remember that the cheap is expensive: not always the product with the lowest price on the market will bring you the success you are looking for.
When prices are far below the standard, the raw materials used run the risk of being inadequate or excluded from more accurate quality control. That's why it's essential to know who you're buying from.

Is it enough to rely on the recommendation alone?
As much as your new contact has been referred by someone you trust, don't just take the word for it. Delivery times need to be reviewed before a decision is made. Therefore, test the company in this regard and always have an alternative plan for deliveries. So, if one vendor fails, you can trigger another one.
Another very important item is to know if that supplier complies with ABNT technical standards and environmental legislation. Do not turn a blind eye: in the area of civil engineering, this requirement is minimal. If possible, give preference to companies certified in quality management systems, as this demonstrates commitment to ensuring the quality of the processes and products.
How can the internet help at this time?
The Internet is one of the greatest allies of those looking for new suppliers and complementary products. That's because most of the research can be done online.
The first step is to know if the company operates regularly. This can be done in a few minutes by consulting the National Register of Legal Entities (CNPJ) online. If the result is negative, run away from that vendor.
There is also other research you can do to find out the company's relationship with its partners and customers, such as on social networks, where you can search for comments and reviews, or on complaint pages — such as Reclame Aqui.
As we have seen, the internet can be a great ally when you need new quality suppliers for your business. So don't waste time: follow our tips and start your search as soon as possible!
