Yes, and this is entirely up to you. By clicking on "Order Ingredient" in your digital dashboard, you can re-order products at the same terms from the same supplier anytime. If, however, you would like to change suppliers, simply submit a new enquiry for the product, and we will initiate a new quote comparison on your behalf. You can also leave a comment in the comments section of the enquiry stating which supplier(s) you do not want to receive quotes from.

Based on the information you provide, we run a quick credit check with our trusted insurance and financing partners. Once a credit limit is set, you are free to utilise our financing solutions.

This depends on the location and availability of the supplier as well as your location. With your suppliers, our digital tools generally speed up these process by at least 30%. When you order from our suppliers, the average lead time is 3 - 4 days. That being said, we work hard to accommodate our customers' individual needs and deliver products based on the delivery date/timeframe you request in the enquiry form. On rare occasions, we've even managed to deliver products in under 24 hours!
