Multi-site facilities
One buying policy across every site.
Give local facilities teams a practical route for consumables, repairs and contractor needs while preserving group supplier rules, spend limits and accountable approvals.
Local speed and group control often conflict
Facilities purchases are distributed across sites, budgets and urgent needs. Without a usable governed path, supplier lists and approval limits are applied inconsistently.
Use site context
Capture location, department, timing and service or item requirements at the start.
Apply group and local rules
Use approved vendors, category controls and authority limits relevant to the requesting site.
Expose cross-site opportunities
Where data supports it, show available stock or related demand before creating another external order.
Implementation
Start with a bounded workflow
Begin with selected sites and one repeatable facilities category. Supplier, catalogue and policy exports can support the pilot before deeper purchasing or facilities-system connections.
Governance
Keep authority explicit
Local exceptions remain possible under the approval route you define, with the need, alternatives, rationale and decision retained for review.
Questions
Straight answers
Can sites retain different approval limits?
Yes. Group policy can include explicit site, category and role differences.
Does this require a single facilities system?
No. A pilot can begin from exported data and return a structured record to the existing process.
