Jan-san, paint, light bulbs, filters, PPE, paper goods, and maintenance MRO. Ship to any property in 1-2 days. No per-property account paperwork. No minimums.
A 1,000-unit portfolio across 18 properties is usually buying from three or four distributors per site. The math gets bad fast.
Each property has its own credit application, tax exemption forms, ship-to address verification, and net-terms setup. Multiply by 18 properties and 4 distributors and you have 72 vendor relationships to maintain.
Trying to answer the question "how much did we spend on jan-san last quarter across all properties" requires pulling reports from four distributor portals and reconciling SKU mappings.
When a property hits a stockout on a high-volume item the maintenance lead is calling around to three branches of their primary distributor and then trying a second vendor. The crew is idle while the calls happen.
An acquisition or new build adds another round of distributor account setup, credit checks, and ship-to verification before the first PO can move. Often 2-4 weeks.
The model is built for portfolio buyers, not for individual property purchases.
