All-inclusive approach: Our all-inclusive approach to procurement goes beyond budget and value considerations. We integrate environmental, social, well-being, and economic factors into our decision-making process. At Datacom, we assess all suppliers on their ethics, carbon footprint, and community impact. This helps us create a positive ripple effect.

Supplier collaboration: We have a strong partnership with our suppliers. We work together to align our goals for sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility. Datacom encourages transparency, sets clear expectations, and collaborates on innovative solutions. We ensure the partners we work with reduce waste, promote fair employment practices, and support local economies.

Lifecycle assessment: We consider the entire lifecycle of products and services throughout the procurement process. From the start of a product's life, we look at its social and environmental effects. We choose products that have lower emissions, use recyclable materials, and last longer.

Social responsibility: Datacom has a written Code of Conduct and an Anti-Modern Slavery Statement. All staff, stakeholders, suppliers, and vendors must follow these guidelines.

Reporting & insights: We track performance across the entire supply chain using a variety of key metrics and hold ourselves accountable. By auditing sustainability and social practices through the measurement of core outputs e.g., reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and water usage; we use insights that not only drive improved decision-making internally to evolve our ethical and sustainable procurement operations but illustrate our commitment to ongoing improvement.

A procurement plan outlines how a business will source the goods and services it needs. It includes what to buy, when to buy it, how much to spend, and how to manage suppliers. A strong procurement plan aligns with business goals, ensures compliance, and helps avoid delays or overspending.

At Datacom, we help organisations create smart, sustainable procurement plans that support long-term value and operational efficiency.

Once you have registered and gained access to the Datacom Store, you have multiple ways to find products.

The header search bar lets you directly search for products, or you can also use the mega menu, category or brand navigation to browse products. The team can also help create a 'Favorite's' list for you to add your frequently purchased items to cart quickly and easily. Your search will produce a listing page, and from there, you can then apply filters to narrow down your search further (e.g., specifications, price, etc.) until you find the perfect product for your needs.

If you would like to order a particular product in bulk from Datacom, you can request a quote, and the team will work to get you the best possible price per unit from our suppliers. 

Multiple locations can be managed from one account. The approvals workflow has 3 roles:

• Super Admin (Approvals Workflow Manager): Manages approval workflow settings, approvers, and user details.
• Admin Approver: Has visibility of all order requests and can approve them, along with access to all orders and quotes across all orderers.
• Orderer: Can only view their own orders and quotes.

Both ‘Admin’ roles are set as administrators but with slight differences. The 'Super Admin' role can change the approval settings for other users.

This setup enables businesses with multiple branches to operate under one account while maintaining independence through the approvals workflow. This helps ensure purchasing consistency and compliance with company guidelines through centralised management, improving efficiency, controlling spending, and simplifying ordering across multiple locations:

• Head Office Users (Account Admins): Manage all orders and quotes.
• Branch Users (Orderers): Can only view their own orders and quotes.
• Admins: Approve all orders to ensure compliance with company policies and have full visibility of all orders and quotes across branches.
• Orderers: Limited to viewing their own transactions.

The Datacom Store is designed to help your business streamline procurement, improve efficiency, and stay ahead in a challenging market. With an expanded product range and enhanced features, we make sourcing IT solutions easier than ever.

You can easily find, compare, and order the products you need using our "compare products" feature.
