New Payment Process for Promotional Vendors

April 8, 2016

Purchasing Services has been working with Sales Dynamics and Staples Promotional Products (formally known as Accolade Promotion Group) to support Humber’s Sustainability initiatives by reducing the amount of paper being processed in Financial Services. In order to achieve this, we have moved to a monthly payment process.

How it works: when you contact Sales Dynamics or Staples Promotional Products to order products they will request a FOAP for the order to be charged to. Payments to the vendors and charges to the FOAPs you supplied to the vendors will be processed on a monthly basis. This process is similar to that of the Culligan for water coolers, Staples Advantage for office supplies, Grenville for printing, and Chartwells for catering.

Benefits of the new Process:

  • Reduce the amount of paper invoices being issued – Supports our Sustainability initiatives
  • End users will no longer need to process requisitions or LVPO for each order
  • Reduces AP workload and time of payment process

Items to remember:

  • We have four Vendors of Record for Promotional Items
    • Akran Marketing
    • Sales Dynamics
    • Staples Promotional Products
    • The Branding Company
  • At this time, only Sales Dynamics and Staples Promotional Products are using this new process
  • You can still place orders using your MasterCard with all four vendors
  • You can find a complete list of all Purchasing’s vendors of records with their contact information on the resources tab on the Finance Website humber.ca/finance/resources
