Margin Pressure
Rising costs and stronger competition are putting increasing pressure on independent retailers. BHL Group helps you protect healthy profit margins while still remaining competitive.
We provide the tools, connections and support to help independent retailers thrive.
The BHL Advantage
Buying Power
BHL Group members have access to competitive supplier pricing and sustainable rebate opportunities which allow us to remain competitive with larger scale market share holders.
WHY BHL GROUP
Cashflow Pressure
BHL Group manages inventory and high level operational costs. Our integrated system shows pricing and stock levels whilst also keeping members informed when special deals are available.
Buying Behaviour
BHL Group understands growing e-commerce & omnichannel expectations supporting members in remaining responsive, visible and consistent at every stage of the buying journey.
Running an independent retail business has never been more challenging.
For many independent retailers, the pressure is coming from all directions. You are expected to remain competitive on price, maintain profitability, manage increasing operational costs, invest in technology, support ecommerce, manage inventory efficiently and continue delivering exceptional customer service.
At the same time, larger competitors often have greater buying leverage, deeper systems and national scale.
It is no surprise many independent retailers are asking:
“How do we remain competitive while still protecting profitability?”
That is where BHL Group comes in. BHL is well structured, well-resourced and well connected, but at the same time not weighed down by layers of bureaucracy. We are able to respond quickly to competitive offerings, emerging opportunities and remain agile as required to best support our members.
Our Purpose
To build a stronger future for independent appliance retailers by delivering unbeatable value, genuine partnerships and the support you need to succeed.
When independent retailers thrive, our local communities thrive.
A Lower Cost Approach
Many buying group models come with significant cost structures that can reduce the value returned to members.
BHL takes a practical, low-cost approach designed to help profit remain with our members while still delivering meaningful commercial support.
Support That Delivers Value
BHL focuses on practical business outcomes without being bogged down by bureaucracy. That means stronger supplier relationships, improved profitability, better NARTA group buying power, operational support and access to systems designed to help retailers compete more effectively.
