Procurement Resources
Not everything is priced on the shelf
The store carries thousands of products at list price, and for most orders that is the fastest way to buy. Infrastructure is different. As a Dell Technologies partner with Arrow Electronics distribution, Apaxon quotes server, storage and networking builds directly — the configuration drives the price, so the number on a product page is rarely the number you pay.

What the partner position gets you
Partner status is only worth something if it changes what a buyer receives. These are the three things it changes.
Authorised partner pricing
Dell partner-programme pricing across PowerEdge, PowerStore, PowerVault, PowerSwitch and Dell client peripherals. Quote-based, because the price depends on the configuration — the store list price is not the number you will pay on a build.
Presales engineering
Hardware sizing, networking topology and storage tiering worked through with you before the order is placed. If you do not yet know exactly what you need, that is the normal starting point, not a problem.
UK delivery, configuration and support
Manchester-based and UK-wide. On-site rack-and-stack, configuration in your environment, and ongoing managed support — one number to call when the build needs adjusting.
When to ask for a quote instead of adding to basket
If none of these apply, buy from the store — it will be quicker and the price is already competitive. If any of them do, a quote will almost always land better on price, lead time, or both.
- The configuration matters — CPU, memory, storage tiering or networking that differs from the listed build
- Volume: multiple units, a rollout, or a refresh across sites
- You need it racked, configured or deployed rather than delivered in a box
- The item is not listed, is showing as out of stock, or you need a lead time confirmed
- You want a like-for-like comparison across Dell, HPE, Lenovo or Cisco before committing
- Public sector, healthcare or education purchasing that needs formal quote documentation
Request a quote
Send the specification, or the problem you are solving if the specification is not settled yet. A UK engineer will come back with a configuration and a price — no account or purchase history required.
