Scottish Midland Co-operative
Who?
The largest independent co-operative supermarket chain in Scotland
Port-P’s services
Scottish Midland Co-operative has been using our services since 2003. At first we just supplied the supermarket chain with backup tapes, but they soon found that our extensive range of products and consistently good-value pricing meant they could purchase from us extensively and with confidence.
Port-P’s online buying portal shows more than 60,000 products, and acts as a comparison site (publishing the best prices and stock available via live feeds from the main UK distributors). If a price drops, the savings are immediately passed on to our customers. Our clients at Scottish Midland enjoy the convenience of ordering all their IT kit from one place, knowing they are saving time and money.
Scottish Midland regularly purchases desktop PCs, laptops, software, printers and general IT hardware from Port-P, and we have often been able to negotiate better prices on their behalf.
What the client says
“We regularly benchmark Port-P against other suppliers and find they are consistently competitive. We like the fact that Port-P doesn’t continually badger for business, and the level of contact is well managed. Having only two account managers since the start of our working relationship has ensured continuity of service from people who understand our business.
“Port-P also keep us informed regarding back orders, which means we do not have to waste time chasing deliveries.
“We consider Port-P to be a real one-stop shop.”
