Whether you want to use your existing supplier partnerships you’ve had for years, or you need to tap into a relocation management company’s supply chain for some flexibility, determining the right mix of suppliers is key for any company.

Odyssey is committed to developing mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, especially those that run their business philosophically similar to ours. This includes suppliers of small, minority and women-owned, disadvantaged/disabled, veteran-owned, and LGBTQA business enterprises. We help you create a high-performing supply chain that focuses on both cost and quality. These carefully curated relationships with hundreds of companies globally are what help us make the relocation process a seamless one for the transferees we serve. Some steps you can take in developing a diverse supply chain are:

• During the procurement process, identifying diverse suppliers and service providers helps you develop a robust supply chain that works for you and your company.  This provides competitive, high-quality goods and services that are aligned with your company’s strategy.
• Communicate the value of supplier diversity both internally and externally at the start of the process. This ensures that everyone is aligned on the same goal and will further help commit to developing a mutually beneficial relationship.

When partnering with Odyssey we extend the offer of using our supply chain and the benefits that come with that. These benefits include:

• Managing ONE vendor with ONE invoice
• Vetted supply chain partners throughout the US & Globally
• Ability to leverage Odyssey’s price savings by accessing volume spend and contracted rates
