CASE STUDY: WHOLESALE AND DISTRIBUTION

PROJECT SUMMARY:

�� Streamlined the client’s supplies for both energy and business supplies, resulting in budget certainty through the implementation of fixedcontracts

�� £13,666 (40%) reduction on annual energy spend

�� £2,049 (41%) reduction on annual business supplies spend, with the savings available for the client to invest in its business

THE CHALLENGE:

The client required a full audit of energy and business supplies.

This aimed to highlight potential cost savings and improvements

in administrative practices across all sites.

THE SOLUTION:

Our full review of essential spend showed that usage was high

and constituted a large annual spend. Consequently, capital was

beingunnecessarilydivertedtonon-profitmakingareasofthe

business giving the client less leverage to invest. We sought to

combat this overspend and eradicate the administrative burden

ofhavingmultiplesuppliersacrossthe7sites,withunfixed

contracts and varying end dates.

We then presented a strategy for enhancing the client’s business

supplies procurement process, streamlining multiple suppliers,

minimising spend and reducing administrative stress.

THE RESULTS:

Energy: Expenditurewasreducedby£13,666(40%),a

sum which was then able to be reinvested into the business.

Additionally, streamlining the supplier base and providing

co-terminus end dates reduced the client’s administrative

burdendramatically.Itsabilitytomakestrategicdecisionswas

therefore improved through budget certainty.

Business supplies: We reduced spend by 41% and

implemented a solution which decreased the number of

suppliers, thus freeing up administrative resources.
