Background
This National Retailer's structure comprised of 60 outlets plus a Head Office. The outlets were autonomous profit centres and had local authority for purchasing. As a consequence, purchasing activity was disparate and inefficient.

ADR Sourcing worked with the Client to identify areas of opportunity. Using Best
Practice purchasing methods, ADR Sourcing negotiated and implemented on behalf of the Client a number of National Service Agreements, which resulted in significant cost-savings, organisational rationalisation and a further improvements to both quality and service levels.
