Hotel operators: Increase savings on Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

While Entegra may be the largest food GPO (Group Purchasing Organisation) in the world with over £32 billion in buying power, our reach as a GPO extends beyond food to everything a Hotel operator needs, including FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment). From in-room desks & chairs to bespoke décor, Entegra partners with clients on every purchasing decision.

Why FF&E is important

Proper investment into FF&E can substantially improve guest experience, embodying your brand's ethos and commitment to quality. The right FF&E choices enhance operational efficiency, ensure sustainability, and contribute to the overall ambiance, significantly impacting guest satisfaction and loyalty. With Entegra, leveraging our expertise in FF&E procurement ensures your spaces not only look inviting but are practical, durable, and aligned with the latest trends, all while adhering to budgetary constraints.

Keeping lodging PIP (Property Improvement Plan) and capital improvements on budget

With FF&E as one of the largest lodging budget price tags, lodging operators can’t afford to make poor purchasing decisions. Add fluctuating interest rates into the mix and every purchasing pound matters. Cost-efficient FF&E is critical to efficiently manage tight PIP and Capital Expenditure budgets.

Protecting investments with quality products and suppliers

Built-to-last, quality-made FF&E is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring positive ROI as it reduces the necessity for repeat purchases. High quality FF&E also improves guest experience through comfort and contributes to aesthetic of your space.  

With Entegra’s Local and Direct Savings programme, hospitality operators enjoy savings from contracted suppliers and vendors outside of prime distribution, which includes Direct Store Delivery (DSD) from regional and national-level partners.
