All purchasing is centralised with decisions made by the central production
manager. Once a year a supplier review takes place in relation to both
product specification and price.
Goods used for the CPU (Central Production Unit) are delivered directly and
orders placed for branches are delivered directly into the branches.
Both CPU and branches place their orders via the company’s own internal
Accounts package.
Distribution providers
Camile has a Centralised Production Unit located in the Northern Cross
Business Park. All CPU products are delivered via three vans to the
branches.
Advice to new suppliers
Producers wishing to make contact with Camile should do so by email
and, with agreement, drop samples into the Head Office, which is based in
Dublin 11.
Camile places strong emphasis that all potential suppliers are at least
HACCP to IS 340 & IS342 standard.
The company’s preference for any high-volume lines such as sugar, vinegar
etc. is to purchase pallet quantities.
Other information
Current terms are 45 days payment and ideally operating a Direct Debit
scheme. All suppliers are subject to a yearly Long Term Agreement (LTA).
There is room for certain brands within the dry goods and ‘nibbles’
categories, for example.
