Published on September 19, 2022

The past few years have really pulled back the curtain on how difficult supply management can be. Supply acquisition and management is difficult even without the supply-chain issues of today because there are a lot of moving parts. You have to juggle multiple vendors, schedule orders strategically, monitor supply levels, and source the best prices all while managing your day-to-day duties. 

It can be beneficial to have a resource for supply management services at your disposal. In addition to the 20+ facility services City Wide can manage for you, we can also manage your inventory.

Avoid hardships of managing your janitorial supplies and consumables

Keeping commercial facilities clean and disinfected is a top priority of all businesses today. A major part of doing this successfully is managing your janitorial and consumable supplies. Not only do you need to keep inventory and make sure necessary supplies are available to your janitorial team and building occupants, but you also need to purchase the right supplies to do the job. 

Your City Wide FSM will help you:

  • Remain stocked on janitorial supplies and consumables
  • Keep your facility disinfected with quality supplies
  • Save money on inventory acquisition

Establish a par level for each supply item

A key to inventory management is establishing a par level for what you need for every item in your supply closet. For example, you may need two cases of toilet paper to get you through each month. This would be your “par level” for toilet paper. 

Your City Wide FSM will establish par levels for you, and then monitor supply levels and replenish them when it becomes necessary. This will help prevent shortages, overages, and save you money by optimizing your supply management and inventory.
