What is still possible
Four situations the desk handles most weeks.
- The vendor has gone quietThey quoted six weeks, you are at week five, and there is no proof and no tracking. A complete program can be built against the live catalogue in about a minute, with real products and real numbers you can forward to finance the same hour.
- Budget approved, purchase order stuckProcurement wants the vendor file before anything moves. Entity, ASI, DUNS and GMC registrations sit on one page you can forward to accounting without waiting on us.
- Three sites, three vendors, three answersOne named desk, one spec sheet, one ship-to protocol with a receiving contact per location — and blind shipping, so each site sees our address rather than your buyer's.
- Someone senior has asked for a number todayYou need a defensible figure now, not next week. The estimator produces one against live wholesale pricing, and the desk refines it with you on the call.
What the desk needs to start
The date, the headcount, the venue city, and whether artwork already exists. That is enough to price it and to tell you honestly what will and will not land in time.
What we will not do is promise a date we have not checked with the manufacturer. If it cannot be made in the window, you hear that on the first call rather than in week three.
Start here
Price it first, then call — or call now.
If you have five minutes, run the estimator and bring the number to the call. If you do not, the number is at the top of this page.
