Franchising, retail, business
31/08/2017 - Here’s how
Aldi has increased its support for small suppliers by reducing payment terms to 14 days.
The new terms apply to all suppliers that transact up to £250k worth of business with Aldi and are effective from 11th September. More than 400 businesses will immediately benefit from this change.
The move is one of many initiatives that Aldi has in place to support its supply base. These include ensuring suppliers do not make any financial commitments without prior assurances on cost and volumes, keeping buying patterns stable throughout the year, and not running ‘buy one get one free’ or multibuy promotions.
Aldi’s approach to supplier relations was recently recognised as the best in the supermarket sector by the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA), with the retailer topping the GCA’s annual GSCOP supplier survey for the fourth consecutive year.
Tony Baines, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, said: “We recognise that cost pressures across the supply chain are increasing and placing a strain on smaller businesses in particular. Reducing payment terms to our smaller suppliers should help ease some of this pressure.”
Aldi is the UK’s fifth largest supermarket by market share and opened its 700th store earlier this year. It remains on course to open 1,000 stores by 2022.
Baines added: “Our relationships with suppliers are based on longevity and trust. We have worked with many of our current suppliers since we entered the UK market more than a quarter of a century ago, and are always looking for ways in which we can work more effectively with them.”

L’idea di creare un blog giornaliero per il mondo del retail nasce grazie ai continui feedback positivi che riceviamo dalle notizie condivise attraverso diversi canali.
Rivolto a tutte le tipologie di distribuzione presenti sul mercato: dal dettaglio ai grandi mall, dal commercio locale e nazionale alle catene di negozi internazionali, investitori, ai nostri fedeli clienti e chiunque altro è realmente interessato allo studio e all'approfondimento su ciò che guida il comportamento dei consumatori. E' anche un blog per tutti coloro i quali lavorano già nel mondo del Retail.
Verranno condivise le loro esperienze, le loro attitudini e le loro experties. Un blog di condivisione, quindi.
Ospitato sul sito della BRD Consulting, che da decenni lavora nel mondo distributivo Italiano ed Internazionale, il blog Store in & out riguarderà il business, i marchi e i comportamenti d'acquisto propri di alcune delle più grandi aziende.
Ci saranno anche notizie in lingua originale per dare evidenza dell’attenzione della nostra Azienda nei confronti del global.
