our impact
the Business challenge
The client initially wanted support with packaging and equipment sourcing, but the brief soon evolved to include benchmarking fit-out costs and improving supplier transparency.
4C Associates was first engaged to address the original brief. As the scope expanded, 4C looked to the broader group to deliver specialist support at pace.
The integrated FourCentric group structure meant 4C Associates could seamlessly draw on capabilities across the group, bringing together the right subject-matter experts as one team.
Our Approach
Procure4 led a comprehensive review of the packaging supply chain, engaging directly with suppliers and issuing an RFP to benchmark costs and sustainability performance and evaluate commercial viability. The end-to-end review provided visibility across categories and confirmed that the incumbent consolidator agent was delivering strong commercial value and opened opportunities for sustainable innovation.
EBIT applied deep sector knowledge and cost modelling expertise to review and benchmark costs across the store fit-out programme.
- Saved an average 13% on the cost of store fit-outs
- Improved supply chain visibility
- Benefited from faster time-to-action
- Strengthened client’s supplier negotiating position
