Management of Office Supplies and Purchasing in 2026
Managing office stock (cups, paper, coffee, cleaning) seems simple, until you run out of toilet paper. Admin is responsible for ensuring basic infrastructure runs without interruptions. Doing this "by memory" or with sticky notes on the fridge is inefficient.
The supermarket logic
The office should run like a mini-market with reorder points. If printer toner stock hits 2, a purchase order should trigger. Centralizing requests avoids expensive emergency purchases.
The internal purchase flow
- Request: Employee notifies something is out or requests specific item (e.g., ergonomic mouse).
- Approval: Admin checks if it's in stock or needs buying.
- Quote/Buy: Purchase execution.
- Delivery: Receiving and distributing to the requester.
