Corporate Accounts
Corporate Office Supplies & Smarter Procurement
More control over workplace purchasing, with dedicated support and account features designed around the way your organisation buys.
A Green Office corporate account can help regular business customers simplify ordering, manage workplace spend and bring more of their purchasing together through one supplier.
Depending on your requirements, account controls can include budgets, order approvals, cost centres, purchase-order requirements and preferred product lists, alongside dedicated account support, credit facilities and monthly invoicing for approved customers.

Corporate Account Benefits
More than simply an office supplies account
As organisations grow, workplace purchasing can become more complicated. More employees, departments, locations and suppliers can make it harder to maintain control over what is being ordered and where money is being spent.
Our corporate account service combines convenient online ordering with purchasing controls that can be configured around your organisation.
The aim is straightforward: make everyday ordering easy for employees while giving procurement, finance and management teams greater visibility and control.

Spend Management
Give employees freedom to order without losing control of spend
Different users often need different levels of purchasing authority. Depending on your account configuration, budgets and approval workflows can help create a clearer ordering process while still allowing employees to purchase the products they need.
User budgets
Apply spending limits to individual users or purchasing groups to help keep workplace expenditure within agreed levels.
Order approvals
Route selected purchases to the appropriate person for approval before the order is released.
Department controls
Structure purchasing around teams, departments or other areas of the organisation where appropriate.
Purchasing Controls
Fit workplace ordering around your existing processes
Your office supplies account should support the way your organisation operates rather than forcing your business to work around the website.
Cost centres can help allocate expenditure to departments, locations, projects or other business areas, while purchase-order requirements can help ensure orders include the references your finance or procurement team needs.
For organisations with more structured purchasing requirements, these controls can make orders easier to manage and reconcile while giving authorised users a straightforward online buying experience.
Product Standardisation
Help employees choose the right products more consistently
A large workplace product range is useful, but too much choice can also result in unnecessary variation. Preferred products and Quick Lists can help guide employees towards commonly purchased or approved items while making repeat ordering faster.
Preferred products
Make regularly purchased or agreed products easier for employees to identify and order.
Quick Lists
Give users quick access to frequently ordered products without repeatedly searching the wider catalogue.
Reduce duplication
Standardising everyday products can help reduce unnecessary variation across teams and locations.
Business Account Facilities
Credit accounts & monthly invoicing
Approved business customers can purchase workplace supplies on account rather than making an individual payment for every order, helping reduce day-to-day payment administration.
Monthly invoicing can also make regular workplace purchasing easier for finance teams to manage and reconcile.

Credit facilities are subject to account approval.
Green Purchasing Analysis
Find practical opportunities to improve workplace purchasing
Sustainable procurement does not necessarily mean replacing every product with a more expensive alternative. A useful starting point is understanding what the organisation already buys.
For corporate customers, we can review commonly purchased products and identify opportunities to reduce duplication, consolidate supply and consider more sustainable alternatives where appropriate.
The aim is to identify realistic improvements while continuing to balance environmental considerations with performance, availability and budget.
A practical approach
Reduce
Identify unnecessary consumption and duplicated products.
Consolidate
Bring more workplace purchasing together through fewer suppliers and product ranges.
Improve
Introduce more considered alternatives where they offer a sensible balance of environmental benefit and commercial practicality.
Dedicated Support

Corporate customers benefit from dedicated account support from someone who can get to know the organisation, its purchasing requirements and the products it regularly uses.
Product support
Help finding products, alternatives and items that may not currently be displayed online.
Account reviews
Review purchasing patterns and identify practical opportunities to simplify or improve supply.
Ongoing assistance
A familiar contact when your organisation's products, users or procurement requirements change.
