Vendor Management
The vendors on your project either perform or they become your problem. We manage the relationships, hold the accountabilities, and make sure every vendor on the project delivers what they committed to.
Vendor management on a commercial furniture project involves more moving parts than most clients anticipate. Manufacturers, dealers, logistics providers, and installation contractors all have to perform on time and on spec for the project to close cleanly. We establish the expectations, build the communication structure, and stay on top of every vendor commitment from order acknowledgment through punch list resolution. AI tools are used to track vendor commitments, flag delays, and maintain visibility across the full vendor network on active projects.
