Introduction
ABC Solutions is based in Tirana, Albania, aimed to enhance its office productivity by adding a soundproof meeting pod for small team discussions. After evaluating multiple options, they proceeded with a procurement order for a 4-person meeting pod from SOP WorkPods, a leading manufacturer of soundproof office solutions.

Step 1: Identifying the Need

Soundproofing: Acoustic insulation to ensure minimal external noise disturbance.

Proven track record in delivering to European markets.
Customizable features, such as color options and integrated technology.
Competitive pricing and a commitment to meeting the delivery deadline.

Step 3: Product Customization and Negotiation

A neutral gray exterior to blend with the office décor.
Integrated power outlets, USB charging ports, and a 32-inch screen for presentations.
High-quality LED lighting and an advanced ventilation system.

Step 4: Placing the Order
On December 10, 2024, ABC Solutions finalized the order with the following terms:

Delivery Date: By January 7, 2025.
Payment Terms: 50% upfront and 50% upon delivery.
Warranty: 2 years, covering manufacturing defects and installation issues.

Key features included:
Noise Reduction: Verified by testing soundproof levels during a meeting.
