Barbour Spangle Design, known for its exceptional interior design and strong industry relationships, announces the launch of The BSD Group Procurement Service. This new service provides
independent designers with access to a wide selection of to-the-trade products at significant cost savings,
simplifying the procurement process so designers can focus on creating beautiful, timeless spaces.
The BSD Group’s five-step procurement process handles all backend logistics, from creating and transmitting
orders to managing vendor communications, warehouse coordination, and filing damage claims. Designers gain access to
exclusive products without the hassle of minimum order requirements or commissions, and there are no out-of-pocket
expenses for items ordered through the service.
“We understand how time-consuming procurement can be for designers, which is why we’ve developed this
service to alleviate that burden,” said Christi Spangle, co-founder of Barbour Spangle Design. “With
over 20 years of experience, we’ve built relationships and processes that allow us to handle the complexities
of procurement. Now, we’re excited to extend these benefits to other designers, helping them save time and
grow their businesses more efficiently.”
The BSD Group is staffed by professionals experienced in procurement and logistics, ensuring each designer has a
dedicated point of contact throughout the process. Unlike automated services, designers receive real-time support
from specialists who understand the unique needs of independent designers and firms.
In addition to streamlining workflows, The BSD Group offers financial flexibility by managing upfront transactions
with brands and manufacturers, freeing up designers’ cash flow for reinvestment into their businesses.
