Receiving Warehouse for Procurement Offices: Filed by Project
Your procurement office places the orders for a hotel renovation or an office fit-out, and our receiving warehouse nearest the site takes and holds the freight.
What a receiving warehouse does for a procurement office
A receiving warehouse accepts vendor freight on your behalf while the project site cannot. For a procurement office, Elite Anywhere gives each job a commercial ship-to address near the site, photographs and condition-checks each arrival, files it in Bond under the right project, and holds it in climate-controlled storage until delivery day.

How receiving works for a procurement office
Receive
Send us the vendor list for each project and give vendors our address with the project name on the order. Carriers book a weekday appointment between 9am and 3pm, and we ask for the bill of lading so we know what actually shipped.
Inspect, Photograph, and Document
Outer packaging is condition-checked against your list, and damage is reported before storage; cartons are opened for inspection whenever you ask, at no charge. Each arrival is photographed and logged in Bond under its project, so your login shows which purchase orders have landed and which are still coming.
Store
A project’s orders sit together in climate-controlled storage while drywall, flooring or a late permit holds up the site. You or your client can visit them while they wait.
Deliver and install
On the date you set, the orders go out to the site. Your site contact gets a text about 30 minutes before the crew arrives, and the crew places and assembles each piece, removes the packaging and records the sign-off.
