Which supplier is right for me?
So you may already have a few suppliers as you are unsure which supply is the best one to give your biggest custom to. There are a few techniques and tools that you can use to evaluate your commercial refrigeration suppliers.  One main tool that is really useful, especially if you already use a few companies is a scoring matrix. This scoring matrix can also be used if you are trying to locate different suppliers as it can try and determine which one is the best to use. The scoring matrix works on a point system and the number of points depends on the amount of companies you are scoring. You will then need to find information on each company on the following factors:
Location of supplier in relation to yourselves.
Unit cost per your most ordered item.
Bulk discount costs
Delivery/turnaround per item.
Discount for quick payments
Loyalty schemes.

For each of the above you put a score next to each company, so for instance if you have three commercial refrigeration suppliers to choose from then you mark each topic out of three (it is up to you if you decide to mark in descending or ascending order) The above matrix is the best way to determine which suppliers are the best to go with.
