Barbour Spangle Design caters to independent designers with new offering
The BSD Group Procurement Service handles all the logistical aspects of sourcing.
HIGH POINT — Barbour Spangle Design has launched its BSD Group Procurement Service, a new offering that aims to streamline the procurement process for independent designers. This service gives designers access to a wide range of to-the-trade products at significant cost savings.
The BSD Group’s procurement service operates through a five-step process that handles all the logistical aspects of sourcing, including creating and transmitting orders, managing communications with vendors, coordinating with warehouses and handling damage claims. This streamlined approach eliminates the time-consuming and often complex tasks associated with procurement, giving designers more freedom to focus on their creative work.
The company says that one of the key advantages of the BSD Group Procurement Service is its exclusivity and flexibility. Designers can access products without minimum order requirements or additional commissions, and there are no upfront costs for the items ordered. This allows for greater financial flexibility, as Barbour Spangle Design handles transactions with vendors, freeing up cash flow that designers can reinvest in their businesses.
“We know firsthand how time-consuming procurement can be for designers, which is why we’ve developed this service to relieve that burden,” said Christi Spangle, co-founder of Barbour Spangle Design. “With more than 20 years in the industry, we’ve built relationships and processes that allow us to take on the complexities of procurement. Now, with the BSD Group, we’re able to extend these advantages to other designers, helping them achieve their time and financial goals, and allowing them to grow their businesses with greater ease.”
The BSD Group is staffed by professionals with extensive experience in procurement, logistics and expediting, ensuring each client has a single point of contact throughout the process. This personalized service eliminates the need for chatbots or disorganized message threads, providing real-time support from a dedicated procurement specialist.
Barbour Spangle Design will officially introduce The BSD Group Procurement Service at the upcoming High Point Market, where co-founders Christi Barbour and Christi Spangle will host a panel discussion titled “Process to Profits: Can a New Generation of Designer Procurement Groups Better Your Business?” on Oct. 26. The panel will feature experts including interior design business specialist Gail Doby, financial planner Brad Clinard, and DASH Home & Kitchen owner Holly Woodward. The event will cover how modern procurement models can enhance business operations and profitability for designers. A Q&A session will follow the discussion, which is open to all market attendees with no RSVP required.
Barbour Spangle Design, based in High Point, is a woman-owned design studio with over two decades of experience in residential and commercial projects.
