Global workspace procurement
Storage & Organisation sourcing.
Storage is routinely under-scoped and then bought in a hurry after occupation. We size storage against real document, personal-item and stock volumes, then source pedestals, lockers, cabinets and archive systems as one consolidated package.
Personal, team and archive storage planned before the floor plate is frozen.
Positioning
Why this category is bought this way
In agile and hot-desking layouts storage stops being a desk accessory and becomes shared infrastructure: locker banks, team caddies and archive rooms carry what the pedestal used to.
We specify carcass gauge, lock type, powder coat standard, load rating and key management up front, because those are the details that decide whether a locker bank survives five years of daily use.

Direct sourcing & bulk procurement
How supply actually works here
Steel storage is a high-volume, low-differentiation category where direct factory supply typically produces the clearest saving on bulk locker and filing orders.
Timber and laminate credenzas are usually sourced with the furniture package so finishes match, and are quoted alongside the desking to keep one commercial conversation.
Direct manufacturer supply is used where it is genuinely available for the category and volume. Where a brand supplies only through authorised partners, we buy that route to protect warranty and benchmark it so the difference is visible.

Procurement workflow
Requirement to delivery for storage & organisation
- 01
Requirement capture
We record what the space actually has to do — headcount, work modes, phasing, budget envelope, delivery date and any landlord or building constraint that will shape what can be installed.
- 02
Specification & BOQ
Requirements are converted into a written specification and a measurable bill of quantities, so every supplier quotes the same scope, the same finish level and the same quantities.
- 03
Supplier discovery
We shortlist manufacturers, authorised channel partners and trusted trading suppliers — in India and overseas — that genuinely make or stock the specified category at the required volume.
- 04
Quotation comparison
Offers are normalised into a like-for-like comparison sheet covering unit rate, freight, duty, warranty, lead time, installation scope and payment terms, not just the headline price.
- 05
Quality & sample approval
Samples, mock-ups, test certificates and factory documentation are reviewed and signed off before any bulk order is released, so the approved sample becomes the acceptance standard.
- 06
Negotiation
Bulk volumes are consolidated and negotiated against benchmarked rates, with commercial terms — retention, warranty, spares, defect liability — agreed in writing before award.
- 07
Purchase & logistics
Purchase orders, export documentation, consolidation, freight mode, insurance, customs clearance and inland transport are coordinated against the site programme.
- 08
Site coordination
Deliveries are sequenced with civil, MEP and interior trades so material lands when the floor is ready for it, with storage, handling and installation access planned in advance.
- 09
Delivery & handover
Received goods are inspected against the approved specification, shortages and damages are recorded, snags are closed and warranty, spares and O&M documents are handed to the client.
Quality & commercial control
What protects the specification and the budget
Gauge and load rating verified
Sheet thickness and shelf load rating are confirmed against the specification, not assumed from a catalogue image.
Lock and key management
Lock type, master key hierarchy and replacement key supply are agreed before award, which matters most on large locker banks.
Finish durability
Powder coat and laminate finishes are sample-approved for colour and for resistance to daily handling.

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
It depends on retention policy and work mode more than on headcount. We measure current linear filing, agree what genuinely must stay physical, then size personal, team and archive storage separately rather than defaulting to a pedestal per seat.
