Managing commercial window treatments across multiple locations sounds simple … until every project starts doing it differently.

We see it time and time again. What should be a small part of a project – commercial window treatments  –  quickly becomes another source of delays, frustration and unnecessary cost. 

What’s the fix? At MAG Resources, we know that a national program for commercial window treatments eliminates many headaches! Without a national window treatment program in place, companies with multiple locations and nationwide franchises deal with different vendors, different products, different pricing and even different levels of service from one market to the next. This is all part of the total cost of multi-location window treatments. 

The hidden cost of not having a commercial window treatment program

• Different vendors and installation standards from market to market
• Inconsistent products, colors, specifications and pricing
• More quotes, purchase orders, insurance certificates, invoices and schedules to manage
• Replacement headaches when products are discontinued or difficult to match
• More internal time spent finding vendors, comparing options and solving problems

The Challenge of Managing Window Treatments Across Multiple Locations

When every location or project is handled separately, consistency can go right out the window (pardon the pun).

For example, one contractor uses a certain product while another uses something completely different. Colors vary. Specifications change. Pricing may fluctuate significantly between markets, so the cost of window treatments changes from install to install. Even installation quality depends on who happens to be available locally. Over time, this creates bigger problems. 

Facilities teams struggle to find replacement window covering products that match. Purchasing teams have no standard pricing to compare against. Construction teams may spend time finding and managing new vendors for every project. And corporate teams can lose control over the consistency of the brand from one location to another. 

There’s also the administrative burden. Every new vendor can mean another quote, another purchase order, another insurance certificate, another invoice, another schedule to manage and another relationship that someone internally has to maintain.

Multiply that across dozens, or even hundreds, of locations, and a relatively simple product category (window coverings) becomes much harder to manage. It doesn’t have to be that way. 

A National Window Treatment Program Creates Consistency

A national window treatment program replaces that fragmented process with a repeatable one. With MAG Resources as your commercial window treatment supplier, you can establish approved products, specifications, pricing expectations and installation standards that are used across multiple projects and locations.

Instead of starting over every time, there’s a process already in place.

Fewer Vendors. Fewer Headaches.

A national window treatment program also reduces the need to search for a new window treatment company every time a project enters a new market. At MAG Resources, we support commercial window covering projects throughout the United States, giving construction, facilities and purchasing teams only one partner to coordinate with.

That means fewer vendor relationships to manage, fewer inconsistencies to solve and fewer surprises during the project.

Better Visibility and Easier Planning

And don’t forget budgeting and planning issues. Standardization of commercial window treatments also makes that easier.

When products and processes are established ahead of time, you have a clearer understanding of what you’re buying and how the process will work. It’s easier to plan for new construction, renovations, replacements and ongoing facility needs.

Most importantly, your team can spend less time managing window treatments and more time focused on the bigger priorities of the project.
