OT Group can help. Through our industry leading, easy to use online procurement platform – SmartPad – we can connect your organisation to millions of products at market leading prices, whilst providing you with complete visibility and control of spend.
Unlike many marketplace suppliers, our unrivalled consolidated solution gives you the ability to place one order, receive a single delivery, process one invoice and view a single set of reports to keep control of your product costs.
This means you and your team will spend less time on repetitive, non-critical, every day tasks, such as sourcing and benchmarking products and prices, and processing orders and invoices.
The OT Group is a leading provider of business services and workplace solutions, bringing together the expertise of the OfficeTeam and Office Depot UK brands which each have extensive experience of working with organisations in the public sector and managing tail spend.
The role of technology has been widely acknowledged as key to improving supply chain efficiencies, transforming the procurement process and most importantly, reducing costs. That’s why we’ve invested millions of pounds into the development of our own e-commerce engine – SmartPad – complete with wraparound support.
Dissatisfied with the procurement platforms that already existed in the market, we embarked on an ambitious vision to build our own. Now relied upon by hundreds of thousands of users in SMEs and enterprise organisations alike, SmartPad connects customers to the lowest prices, more products and services than ever before, and easy access business intelligence and reporting.
SmartPad can integrate into all major ERP platforms, P2P platforms and marketplaces. We even offer ‘hybrid integration’– so you can choose different integration methods for different departments within your organisation and still benefit from the full SmartPad experience.
OT Group take a lifecycle approach to sustainability, focusing on 3 core areas of Planet, People and Partners and we’re developing our strategy in line with what’s important to our customers – to support their sustainability objectives, and the UK Government’s long term goals for carbon net zero.
Our activities are also mapped against the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to demonstrate how we will contribute to solving global sustainability issues.
