IT support, admin and sysadmins of Denmark - where do you get your parts? Recommended vendors? (leddit.danmark.party)

Hello IT professionals of Denmark!

So I've been on assignment here for over 6 months now and having constant issues with getting equipment on time and in-spec from my company.

So far I've been getting by just browsing Pricerunner and then expensing items, but I thought I should look into settling on a specific vendor and running them through approval.

Where do you get your parts from, things like cables, peripherals, minor tools (cable strippers, testers etc)??

Is there maybe a specific sub for discussions on hardware in DK or maybe some known Facebook groups where wisdom is shared?

I'd be happy to hear all of your answers.

Most larger companies have some sort of exclusive agreement with one, or a few suppliers, and buy everything from them. As a result, you might get laptops or monitors at a pretty good price, but you are being screwed big times on cables, tools, etc.

Another important question is maybe how much time you want to waste, shopping around to save 15kr. on a cable? If you have one supplier, they probably send you one invoice per month, for all your purchases. If you buy from a random store, you need to pay by card and then get reimbursed from your company, which generates a lot of extra paperwork.

Yes, we do have DELL for computers and our vendor for other stuff, but the last one ships from the Netherlands.

This is to find a candidate locally in DK to run through approval for vendor.

This would help save money, delivery time and improve situation with sustainability.

It's also why I'm checking for recommendations, cause we will probably aim for invoicing and delayed payments on 30 day cycles.
