In the fast-paced fit-out world, procurement can make or break projects. Tight deadlines, numerous trades, and razor-thin margins mean traditional processes can quickly become overwhelming.

Forward-thinking contractors — like Delcon Construction Ltd, Edison Solutions Ltd, and TJM Projects — are turning to ProcurePro to cut through the chaos.

Unique procurement challenges in fit-out

Fit-out projects juggle multiple trades, from carpentry and electrical to HVAC and plumbing. More trades mean more complexity, creating specific procurement hurdles:

  • Managing multiple trades: High volumes of suppliers, varied deadlines, and budget tracking without a central system leads to stress and inefficiencies.
  • Slow, fragmented tendering: Traditional RFQ processes delay projects and inflate costs.
  • Limited visibility: Without real-time tracking, teams often spot issues too late, resulting in costly mistakes and delays.

How fit-out leaders are streamlining procurement

Delcon

Delcon’s high-end luxury fit-outs for global fashion brands require coordinating over 120 trades per project. Fragmented procurement previously pulled focus from its core priorities — delivering quality and preserving margins.

“It was paramount for us to invest in the right technology that would streamline our processes and delivery efficiency. ProcurePro delivers just that.”
Chris Miles, Finance & Operations Director, Delcon

Edison

Founded by ex-ISG directors, Edison is rapidly becoming a major player in high-end fit-outs. To manage high volumes of trades effectively, Edison needed software to simplify procurement, enhance quality, and provide clearer reporting.

TJM Projects

TJM, known for innovative fit-outs, faced similar procurement headaches as its portfolio grew. Efficient tendering, better supplier communication, and cost transparency became critical to maintaining its market reputation.

“ProcurePro has been a game-changer for us — reducing tender turnaround times, improving supplier management, and letting us focus on delivering outstanding fit-outs.”
Jason Thompson, Project Manager, TJM Projects
