Hotel Group Procurement Programme
Brand-standard linen for hotel chains and multi-property portfolios. Central contracting · Property-level drop-ship · AQL 1.5 inspection · Consolidated invoicing.
A Different Procurement Model for Multi-Property Buyers
Single-property hotels buy linen one container at a time. Hotel chainsneed brand-standard consistency across every property, every year - locked specs, predictable lead times, and central financial control. Anabyn's Hotel Group Procurement programme is built for chain HQ procurement teams managing 5 to 500+ properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply hotel chains with multi-property rollouts?
Yes. Anabyn supports chain rollouts of 5 to 500+ properties with a brand-standard manual, property-coded packing, drop-ship direct to each property's port or 3PL, and consolidated central invoicing. Examples include UK boutique groups, GCC luxury chains and African safari portfolios.
What is a brand-standard manual?
A locked specification document covering every SKU in your programme: GSM, TC, dimensions, weave, dye/Pantone, tolerance, packaging, woven label, hangtag, care symbols and country-of-origin labels. Once approved, it governs every future production run - eliminating drift between properties or years.
How do you handle property-level forecasting?
Standard chain procurement runs on a three-tier forecast: (1) annual rolling 12-month forecast from your central procurement team; (2) quarterly capacity block confirmation with Anabyn 12 weeks ahead; (3) property-level call-off PO 6 weeks before delivery. Eliminates stockouts during refit cycles.
Can you ship to multiple properties on a single PO?
Yes - one master PO can break into multiple property-specific shipments to different ports or 3PLs. Each shipment carries property-coded cartons and packing slips, with consolidated invoicing back to your central finance team.
What QC standard do you apply for chain rollouts?
All chain programmes run AQL 1.5 in-house inspection (stricter than retail-standard AQL 2.5). Independent third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek) is included at no extra cost for the first three production runs of any new programme.
Do you offer central invoicing in our currency?
Yes. Anabyn invoices in USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR, CAD, AUD or INR - payable via T/T or L/C. Property-level cost allocation breakdown supplied for your internal recharge. No FX surcharge applied.
How long does a multi-property rollout take?
Brand-standard manual approval: 2–4 weeks. Initial sample sign-off: 4–6 weeks. First production wave: 45–60 days. Subsequent property rollouts: 30–45 days production + freight. For a 50-property chain, expect 4–6 months from contract to last property delivered.
What references do you have?
Anabyn supplies hotel chains and groups across the UK, Germany, France, GCC (UAE/Saudi Arabia), India, Australia and Africa. Specific references available under NDA after qualification call.
