We run a manufacturing facility. Of the five things that we do, four are produced in-house. When you run a manufacturing facility, raw materials need to come in through the backdoor before finished product can go out the front door.<\/p>\n

You need a supply chain and that supply chain needs to be coordinated with orders that you are taking from your customers.<\/p>\n

Like any chain, it is only as strong as it\u2019s weakest link.<\/p>\n

In the case of our supply chain the links are our vendors and it is our job as the Franchisor to make sure that those links are strong.<\/p>\n

To accomplish that, we maintain a Preferred Vendor List<\/strong> for each of the countries that we operate in, currently Canada and the US.<\/p>\n

Preferred Vendors provide our franchisees with equipment, materials and products that will do the job well and to ensure that we are able to provide support to you:<\/p>\n

They are chosen based on a number of criteria.<\/p>\n
