Northern Building Plastics Explains Why You'll Never See Price Differences Across its Super Depots.
Sales Director at Northern Building Plastics, Stephen Jones, highlights an industry need to address inconsistent pricing, and why NBP adopts a transparent approach.
Frustration over inconsistent pricing practices among the building trade has reached a new peak, with unpredictability from suppliers sometimes being the determining factor on whether a project is profitable. Northern Building Plastics (NBP) has taken a bold step to address this challenge directly with a commitment to consistent pricing across all four of its Super Depots, located in Birtley, Hinckley, Bolton and Leeds.
“We understand the frustration and the unnecessary delays caused by fluctuating prices in our industry, and that is the driving force behind our guaranteed standard of transparency and consistency across all Northern Building Plastics depots,” explains Stephen Jones, Sales Director at NBP.
We know that if customers purchase products at a higher price than what was initially quoted or previously supplied, it has a massive impact on their profit”.
“Fluctuation in material costs can be the difference between making money and losing money on a job. By offering consistent competitive prices across all our Super Depots, we are providing our customers with peace of mind, and they know exactly what to expect when purchasing from any of our depots.”
In a market where supplier product prices can vary from site to site, hour to hour, and staff member to staff member, NBP's commitment to a consistent pricing structure underscores its dedication to not just serving but also modernising the construction supply landscape. “Competitive price consistency means you don't need to discount heavily, which is why you won't see kneejerk flash sales from NBP,” Steve added.
NBP’s initiative to standardise prices across its network of depots is more than just a strategic move; it's a testament to the company’s commitment to fairness and customer satisfaction. By ensuring consistent pricing, NBP is not only simplifying the buying process but also fostering a relationship of trust with its clientele.
Steve explains: “We've been building competitive price lists for different customer types like general builders, joiners, and window installers into our system to offer bespoke pricing packages.”
“So, if you walk into NBP and tell me that you're a joiner or a window installer for example, then we will tailor a pricing package to your account in seconds that way customers are getting competitive pricing on the ranges that are important to their specific trade.”
Through the integration of competitive price lists tailored to different customer segments, NBP is not only alleviating customers’ frustrations, but also pushing for a more transparent and equitable construction supply chain, enhancing the purchasing process and solidifying NBP’s commitment to integrity and unity with its customer base. Such an approach not only benefits trade customers by saving time, but also propels NBP forward as a leader in promoting transparency in the construction supply chain.
NBP’s efforts to address and rectify the issue of inconsistent pricing is just another layer of its overarching goal to maintain a more straightforward, trustful, and efficient procurement process. With £1 million of building products in stock at each Super Depot, plus a delivery fleet of 65 vehicles, including specially extended vehicles that can transport up to six metre lengths.
NBP customers can order online any time up to 10pm or from any depot during working hours via phone, email and WhatsApp for free next day delivery direct-to-site.
