Case Study

Sourcefin helps small Gauteng-based business deliver R3mn+ of promotional chairs & tables

Project details

When a SMME recently secured a private bid to supply and deliver tables and chairs for a major international promotional and events company, it was a breakthrough moment for their business.

The end-client – a global organisation that supports some of the world’s most recognised brands, required a large volume of tables and chairs delivered within tight timelines and to exacting quality standards. For the SMME, the opportunity had the potential to transform their business.

Scope of work: Supply and delivery of promotional tables and chairs

Timeline: 6 weeks from application

Purchase order value: R3,065,800.00

Province: Gauteng

Private or Public: Private

The challenges

Project required a significant upfront investment

Fulfilling the purchase order required a large investment in materials and labour. The SMME needed over R3 million in small business funding to deliver against its purchase order.

Tight timelines presented funding and sourcing challenges

As a small business with no track record of large purchase orders, our client faced a race against the clock – traditional bank loans and credit lines came with lengthy vetting processes that simply couldn’t meet the tight deadline.

The solution

Working together, Sourcefin helped our client to take on this massive business opportunity by providing:

1.

Instant access to funding

Sourcefin provided its client with tailored funding aligned to the contract value and delivery timeline.

2.

Secure and deliver items on time

Sourcefin enabled the business to secure the items, successfully brand them and confidently take on the order.

3.

Build a reputation as a reliable supplier

More importantly, the project positioned the business as a reliable supplier within the global events supply chain.
