I've recently started a new job as the sole IT person at a small company, and we're in the process of moving to a new office. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed since this is my first time managing a project like this. I really could use some advice on where to find resources for bulk purchasing equipment, such as Ethernet cables and network closet supplies. Any suggestions?

Good luck with your new role! Since you're in a smaller company without a structured purchasing system, you might want to search locally for suppliers that offer bulk items. If your company doesn't have a designated procurement department, you can start by identifying what you need and then looking for online retailers who can supply them at a discount for larger orders. Consider well-known manufacturers like Furukawa for quality products.
I’d recommend checking out Monoprice for bulk cables and connectivity gear; they're usually reliable and affordable.
Thanks for the advice! Since we’re a small team, I’ll have to manage procurement myself right now.
