The Supplier Directory on AstoreProcurement.com is a centralized platform listing all nominated suppliers by Astore. It acts as a digital storefront, helping suppliers gain visibility and making it easier for clients including Accor hotels and procurement teams to discover and connect with the right partners.
🚀 What is the Supplier Directory?
The Supplier Directory is a user-friendly tool designed to streamline supplier discovery and engagement. Clients can use search filters and keywords to find suppliers based on their categories, services, or specific needs. Each supplier has a dedicated page displaying all key business details:
General information
Product & service description
Ordering and delivery terms
Contact details
Brochures and certifications
This ensures up-to-date, reliable, and centralized information, accessible anytime by all Astore clients.
