Case Study
Jointing Technologies
01
The Situation
Jointing Technologies is a market-leading distributor of specialist power cables and accessories, operating across the UK electricity sector. With strategically located branches in Woking, Bristol, and Hove, along with a purpose-built distribution centre in the Midlands, they are well-placed to serve their nationwide customer base. However, in response to an expanding product portfolio and increasing market-driven cost pressures, Jointing Technologies identified the need for highly skilled sourcing and procurement expertise to drive efficiencies and maintain competitiveness.
02
The Transformation
To meet these challenges, Jointing Technologies partnered with Pro Outsourcing to implement a transformative procurement strategy. Leveraging our extensive experience in the electrical industry, including work with prominent organisations such as Prysmian Cables and Draka Cables, we undertook a comprehensive review of their sourcing and supply chain operations.
Our transformation process included:
· A full audit of the existing supplier base, leading to supplier consolidation to streamline operations.
· The identification and sourcing of additional product lines to complement and enhance the current range.
· Rigorous assessment and auditing of new manufacturers, particularly in China and India, ensuring adherence to industry standards and certifications.
The transformation focused on aligning procurement with the company’s growth strategy, delivering greater value across the supply chain and reinforcing Jointing Technologies' competitive edge.
03
The Result
Through our collaborative approach, Pro Outsourcing successfully reduced supply chain complexity and delivered tangible cost savings. The introduction of vetted, cost-effective manufacturers from China and India enabled product cost reductions of between 15% and 22% on key product lines.
Beyond product cost savings, further efficiencies were achieved through optimised stock levels, enhanced logistics operations, and improvements in courier services, delivering an all-round uplift in supply chain performance.

“…Jointing Technologies have used the services of Pro Outsourcing over the past five
years to source products on our behalf. They have consistently delivered significant cost reductions, meaning that we always stay ahead in a very fast moving and competitive environment. I personally recommend their procurement & supply chain services and will continue to utilise them when required…"
