Sourcing Scenario

Sourcing Scenario A Hotel Opening Linen List

A hotel purchasing team fitting out a new property

The Brief

What The Buyer Is Trying To Do

Guest room towels in three sizes, pool towels, bath mats and bathrobes all have to arrive before handover, matched to one colour standard, with compliance documents on file for group procurement.

This page describes a typical order profile and how it is handled against our published terms. It is not a record of a named client project.

Pain Points

A handover date that moves earlier compresses the whole order window
Items bought from different suppliers do not match in the room
Group procurement will not release the order without audit documents
Receiving has to count a large delivery into a linen store quickly

Approach

How The Order Is Structured

Build the list from room count and linen turn frequency rather than item by item
Dye the whole list against one approved lab dip
Send samples to the property so housekeeping approves before the order
Pack to a fixed carton count so receiving can check without opening bags

Sequence

The Order Step By Step

Linen list and par levels agreed with the property
Samples produced in 10 days and approved on site
One lab dip approved for the full list
45 day production after the order is placed
Weight verified against the approved sample
Compliance documents prepared with the shipment

Supply Chain

Towels, mats and robes ship together in one consignment, which is what makes the linen store complete on the day the property opens.

Quality Control

Each item type is checked against its approved sample, and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 with BSCI and SEDEX cover the compliance file.

Result

What The Buyer Ends Up With

The property opens with a matched linen set and a documented reference that replacement orders can be produced against.
