Evoke Creative Ltd
Evoke Creative Case Study | 54% OTIF Supply Improvement
The Situation
Driven by soaring demand from several blue-chip clients, including McDonald’s, Travelodge, JD Sports and Google, Evoke’s turnover has rocketed in recent years and is forecast to jump to over £20m. The procurement function needed to support this level of growth.
The Solution
Pro Outsourcing were asked to conduct a full review of the procurement function. We introduced a standard operating procedure, driving improvements in supplier relationship management. Numerous projects were also undertaken including supplier consolidation, new supplier identification, contract negotiations, cost reductions, KPI creation and alignment of a new ERP system to work in line with production requirements and maximise efficiencies.
The Result
The result was a more competent and productive department, ready to handle current volume and the rapid growth predicted over the next few years. Through near-virtual interaction using secure VPN lines, Pro Outsourcing manages the tail-end spend of Evoke, running and responding to MRP signals, expediting deliveries and interacting with suppliers as if we were Evoke employees. A 54% improvement has been seen in OTIF supply, along with significant savings identified and implemented through the introduction of a line-side Kanban system.
