Case Studies
One Stop Stores – first-class communications and lower costs
The Procurement Manager of One Stop Stores, a 500+ branch mini-supermarket, owned by Tesco, explained his requirement to upgrade their communications and to reduce the corporate cost base without indulging in capital outlay or committing to long finance agreements. The company had already used its considerable buying power to negotiate highly favourable contractual terms with telecoms providers.
We undertook the project and introduced a leading supplier, whose initial audit of facilities provided an immediate 10% annual saving by removing redundant lines and certain complexities of the telephony estate. In addition further measures have added further client savings of at least £40,000 a year.
In short, we introduced a high quality supplier who was able to achieve all their objectives in 2007: i.e. to upgrade their communications using new equipment and reduce their overhead cost base by many thousands of pounds annually – without any capital outlay!
