Supplier Partnership Program

Key Benefits of Our Supplier Partnership Program:

Enhanced Collaboration

We are committed to working closely with our suppliers, engaging in two-way communication and collaboration. By fostering open dialogue, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of your capabilities, challenges, and aspirations, enabling us to align our strategies for mutual growth.

Capacity Building and Support

We are dedicated to supporting our suppliers in enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness. Through training programs, sharing best practices, and offering technical assistance, we aim to empower our suppliers to optimize their processes, improve quality standards, and drive operational efficiency.

Recognition and Incentives

We understand the importance of recognizing and rewarding exceptional performance. Through our program, we will acknowledge the contributions of our top-performing suppliers, providing incentives, preferential treatment, and opportunities for increased collaboration.

Transparent Performance Evaluation

Our program includes regular performance evaluations based on key metrics and mutually agreed-upon targets. This evaluation process ensures clarity, fairness, and transparency in assessing supplier performance, enabling us to recognize and reward excellence while identifying areas for improvement.

Market Insights and Collaboration Opportunities

As part of our Supplier Engagement Program, we will provide our suppliers with valuable market insights, industry trends, and consumer preferences. This information will help you align your product offerings, innovate with confidence, and explore joint opportunities for growth.

Geographical expansion

The Outdoor Hub holds regional exclusivity in a number of key areas. This is a key strategic strength we have been building, which our suppliers can benefit from. 

How does it work?

Contribution Scores

Our suppliers are reviewed regularly and their contributions are scored against 4 key support categories: 

Product Support

How are your products supported?

Sales and Marketing

What sales assistance is provided?

Margins, Incentives and Benefits

Can The Outdoor Hub be competitive?

Supplier Support

Can we mutually grow together?

Scores are based on your business' recent performance. We look for active participation, and suppliers looking to increase their scores can ask to be surveyed regularly if they wish.

Score then determine the partnership level and the benefits we provide in return for active participation. These are known as our Partnership Tiers.  

Partnership Program Tiers

We have 3 partnership tiers open to all our suppliers.
