The principal benefit of purchasing direct from a supplier, rather than from a reseller, appears obvious. After all, cutting out the middle man should make the product cheaper. But this is not necessarily the case – as thousands of our clients will testify.
Why we buy in bulk
Because we buy products in huge quantities, we can pass on our improved discounts to our customers. It’s like being part of a co-operative, which is ideal for small, medium and enterprise (SME) businesses who simply would not be able to get such rates on their own.
Saving time and money
The cost savings of convergence don’t stop with improved terms. By dealing with just one company, with one bill and one point of contact, you can save hours of administrative time. Improved reporting – powered by our online billing and management system, Clarity – can also show you quickly and easily whether lines or services are redundant. What’s more, you can reduce the need for onsite support staff.
Supporting our clients
An Alternative Networks support package can be tailored to your particular business needs – no matter the size of your business. We try to understand your business model and use our skills to develop a proactive support strategy for your existing and future communication requirements. It’s simple, and very effective.
Customer service
We are a service led business, and we take great pride in delivering the very best customer care. Because we understand what SMEs require, we can often give targeted and more specialised advice than bigger companies which tend to concentrate on their larger clients.
Independence as standard
As we’re independent, we can always offer you the best products for you – not just the ones that we manufacture. It’s a crucial distinction between us and our competition, and one that we feel can benefit a whole range of businesses.
