Different types of flooring laid out on display

Although the flooring and tile industry has shown continuous growth post-pandemic, driven by increased investment in both public and private construction projects, as well as rising home renovation demands, businesses still face intense competition. This includes competing on material quality, offering a wide range of choices to customers, and competing against low-quality, low-priced products. Construction businesses cannot gain a competitive edge over others without a robust and comprehensive supply chain for flooring and tiles.

This article invites construction project owners, real estate developers, and construction material business operators in the flooring and tile sector to explore how to tackle supply chain issues with solutions from SCG International. With over 45 years of expertise in supply chain management, diverse supplier networks, thorough quality control, and efficient logistics, we are well-equipped to help.

4 Supply Chain Obstacles Impacting Flooring and Tile Procurement

Minimum Order Quantity Requirements

  • One common issue in flooring and tile procurement is the minimum order quantity requirement, which often prevents businesses from mixing different product types. Consequently, businesses must order according to the supplier’s minimum requirements, resulting in a lack of variety and products that potentially do not meet their actual needs. If multiple types of products are needed, businesses must comply with minimum order quantities across various SKUs, increasing inventory costs.

Finding Quality and Reliable Suppliers

  • Flooring and tile businesses must compete with the low-quality, low-priced products that attract customers. Finding reliable flooring material suppliers or porcelain tile suppliers who offer high-quality products at reasonable prices can be challenging. This process requires experience and expertise in connecting suppliers and customers to ensure large order volumes to use as leverage in price negotiations. Additionally, sourcing high-quality, diverse products may require businesses to reach out to multiple countries and undertake stringent quality controls

Non-Competitive Pricing Due to Order Quantity Limitations

  • For flooring material suppliers seeking products of the right quality and price to compete with others, not being able to order each product type in the required quantities set by suppliers can result in non-competitive pricing. This limitation can be overcome by having a supply chain service provider with negotiation power with suppliers or manufacturers to combine volumes of various products, such as floor tiles and flooring materials. This approach helps businesses achieve better pricing to compete in the market.

Challenges in Managing Logistics to Consolidate Products

  • To consolidate a variety of products, stores may have to order from multiple suppliers and combine all the items for export to the destination country. This process involves many complexities and challenges in managing logistics, finding storage space for product consolidation, and handling export documentation.
