Evoke Creative Case Study | 54% OTIF Supply Improvement

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

Brought in to deliver on our supplier strategy and review our MRP software. During this process they identified various shortfalls in our practices and displayed an exceptional ability to address business complexity with clarity and logic, resolving issues and constraints quickly and efficiently. Their approach is further supported by a deep understanding of purchasing and supply chain, leveraged to deliver the objectives of the business. Tom is an outstanding professional and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
