OS & E

Value-Adding purchasing of operational supplies and equipment (OS&E) is about choosing the right product in respect to budget and usability in everyday operations. However, product decisions are often taken before the operational team is set in place and ready to give input. Resulting changes and corrections are an inconvenient and unnecessary extra cost.

With our extensive project experience and an operational background, we can anticipate this problem for you: we make a precise preliminary budget and a pre-selection of adequate equipment – to avoid budget shortages later and to enable a quick decision-making process once the staff is available.

Rapid Supplies offers the full range of OS&E purchasing and procurement services, pertinent to every stage of your hotel project.
