Case Study: Group Supplier Consolidation

Citywide appointed RWW Group as a strategic partner to deliver cost savings through supplier consolidation, improvements to productivity and consistent branding image to their clients. With over 1200 staff organised into three main divisions supported by a highly experienced corporate services teams, Citywide offers a number of specialised services in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

The Challenge

Procurement strategy for uniform and PPE category didn’t exist– suppliers were selected on the basis of location, product availability and price
Approx 30 different suppliers used across the whole group within this category
No company supply agreements with agreed fixed pricing, terms, service commitment, etc. – not receiving value for money
Some safety equipment wasn’t ‘fit for purpose‘ therefore affecting employee productivity
Big opportunity to reduce complexity, waste and streamline purchasing/receipting/invoicing processes

The Solution

Core uniform and PPE range launched to achieve product consolidation and bulk cost reductions. Online Total Apparel Management Solution (TAMS) launched to achieve cost reductions in administration time and provide control over staff budgets and entitlements. Improved and consistent Citywide branding to create branding awareness. Reduced distribution times with uniform orders through the individual pre-pack service
