“Are sourcing delays ruining your timelines? Here’s how to avoid them.” After leading Arcedior for 17 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges in hotel procurement. Here are some common pitfalls and how we address them:
1. Receiving furniture that doesn’t fit can be frustrating.
Solution: We conduct thorough pre-site visits and collaborate closely with designers to create precise shop drawings, ensuring everything fits perfectly.

Solution: By maintaining strong relationships with diverse suppliers, we monitor shipments closely and have contingency plans to source alternatives quickly if needed.
