The customer has a small purchasing team and currently uses 15 different suppliers for control panel consumables. This creates a lot more admin, with more suppliers to manage, more time spent processing orders, and additional costs from small-order carriage charges.
The customer consolidated their control panel consumables with Avon Controls, allowing us to supply all 55 parts through a single supplier. We provided an excel file links to each product on our website, along with pricing, to demonstrate the potential cost savings and simplify the purchasing process.
The customer reduced the number of suppliers they needed to manage from 15 to one, significantly reducing administrative time and eliminating unnecessary small-order carriage charges. This consolidation has delivered an annual saving of approximately £7,000.
"“Working with Avon Controls has made a real difference to the way we manage our purchasing. As a small purchasing team, managing 15 different suppliers for control panel consumables was creating unnecessary admin and additional costs through small-order carriage charges. Avon Controls provided a simple solution by consolidating all of our requirements with one supplier. They supply the 55 different parts we use on a regular basis, providing clear links and pricing from their website, and demonstrated the savings we could achieve. By moving to Avon Controls, we have significantly reduced the time spent managing suppliers and are now saving around £7,000 per year. The process has been straightforward, cost-effective and much easier for our team to manage. They have also put the stock in for us at their unit, meaning delivery is approx 1-2 days in to us.""
