Procurement
ArcFlashWear is not an Online Store. Rather, we are a consultative supply chain partner who assists with identifying workplace hazards, assessing risks and providing solutions to eliminate or minimise those risks. Deciding a corporate PPE program can be a complex process requiring due diligence to how best decide fabric and fibre performance against published standards and identified risks, whether the proposed solutions are fit for purpose and match cost expectations or whether the program is capable of achieving the desired long-term safety, social and environmental benefits. Today's business environment demands a comprehensive procurement strategy driven by actionable data, so informative decisions can be made and executed seamlessly.
Procurement
ArcFlashWear differentiates from the general workwear market by being hazard specific and offering only specialised solutions. Our targeted focus allows us to understand relevant niches and offer industry specific solutions.
Choosing and implementing a personal protection program is a serious, expensive and often lengthy decision. It takes time and effort to differentiate between the many choices in the market.
Consultative Procurement
We consult with inquiring parties to identify the exactness of the hazard and the risk environment in which personnel work, to ensure the proposed solutions address the situation and provide the best possible protection.
Understanding the guidelines, specifications and consistency of industry Standards, inspecting the proposed fabric and/or garments or purchasing single or multiple wear test items help reduce choice complexity.
Our Procurement Process
- In conjunction with the Customer's hazard risk assessment, we determine the appropriate FR/AR solution match.
- We allow Customers to inspect garment(s) (see below) and/or purchase wear test items.
- With regard to our standard range, we consider 'within reason' customisation.
- Preparation of AUD RFQ (convert our AUD RFQs using the XE.com conversion button).
- If our RFQ pricing is accepted, we proceed to PO.
- Settlement terms are negotiated based on PO specifications, for example full payment for procurement of specialised fabric and a percentage completion payment on account of manufacturing may be required; US imported solutions require full payment on account of item/shipping/duties/GST.
- Settlement payment - AUD bank transfer only (BIC / Swift Code NATAAU3303M).
