Modern Workplace Series
If you’re creating a new workplace in North America, you’ll most likely be working with a furniture dealership to purchase and procure office furniture. Did you know there are two types of dealerships? Aligned dealers partner with one of the top five major manufacturers in the world to bring their products to market. Unaligned dealers do not have a relationship with a major manufacturer. Here are a few of the key benefits of working with an aligned dealer.
- Quality Product: The major manufacturers often produce higher quality products and provide a greater number of resources than open-line manufacturers. Scale means they can spend more on research and design, provide better discounts and offer more competitive service and warranty than smaller organizations.
- Size and Capability: Aligned dealers tend to be larger than unaligned dealers with more in-house services, tools and team members. Size isn’t always better, but a quality partner with greater capability means less risk and more accountability.
- Partner Network: Aligned dealers can take advantage of the often large network of other dealerships aligned with their manufacturing partner. BOS, for example, can partner with over 300 other Haworth dealers nationwide. This allows us to effectively serve clients nationally by partnering with quality installation teams trained in Haworth (and Haworth partner) products.
Haworth is one of the top 3 contract office furniture manufacturers in the world. BOS, the world’s first Haworth dealership, is consistently one of their largest and Best In Class dealers globally. We are proud to be aligned with Haworth and offer the benefits described in this email to thousands of clients. Affordable Office Interiors, part of the BOS Holdings family, is unaligned and complements BOS for a variety of other services, such as used furniture, mid-market opportunities and decommissioning.
