What are consumables?
The everyday inputs that keep your business running.
Consumables are the recurring materials and supplies you buy week-in, week-out to make, install, repair or service your products — fasteners, adhesives, paints, lubricants, packaging, PPE, cleaning, electrical and workshop supplies. They typically represent 15–40% of an SME's total cost base and are spread across dozens of suppliers and hundreds of SKUs.
How they're sourced today
- 1Phone calls and emails to a handful of preferred suppliers
- 2Annual price lists that rarely reflect today's market
- 3Spreadsheets, paper POs and approval chains
- 4Reactive top-up orders when stock runs low
- 5Little visibility of what was paid last month vs this month
The Problem
Your consumables spend is bigger than you think.
For manufacturers and service businesses, recurring materials are spread across dozens of suppliers, hundreds of invoices and thousands of line items. Prices change, usage changes and suppliers change — but most buying is still done by email, phone and spreadsheets.
- !You don't know if current prices are competitive
- !You don't know when to contract or buy spot
- !You waste time chasing quotes
- !Suppliers only sharpen prices when asked
- !Small price differences add up across repeat purchases
