Helping to Control cost
With the PfH account card and a single monthly direct debit payment, all materials and product requirements can be met quickly and efficiently at any of Howarth’s merchant branches.
Users benefit from valuable cost management information, as well as highly efficient transaction processing. Transactions can be linked to job numbers for security, job costing and internal auditing. Also, by removing complex structures, PfH customers receive the full value of the rebate in their net price. All prices are checked by PfH to guarantee they remain highly competitive. Efficient The PfH account card removes the need to process large numbers of low value transactions generated by DLOs (Direct Labour Organisations) and contractors, providing a seamless integration between planned and responsive purchasing. OJEU tender compliant
RSLs (Registered Social Landlords) must abide by EU public procurement laws and carry out OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union) compliant tenders where the value of the contract reaches a specified threshold – which can be time consuming and expensive. PfH Members can avoid the process and the unnecessary cost, simply by using PfH agreements.
