How has Global Spend Solutions improved clients’ operations?
At Global Spend Solutions, we know all about streamlining operations. For example, we have already designed and implemented:
- a comprehensive physical end-to-end asset management/tracking program for a client with more than $1B of networking capital deployed across more than 200 locations worldwide. This project increased visibility into the company’s inventory and asset base, significantly reduced unnecessary equipment and contract-manufacturing expenditures, and yielded the information required to remain compliant with statutory requirements in all countries in which the company operates
- a global program for returning and redeploying used network equipment, saving more than $18M of capital spending in its first six months of operation
- a global hub-and-spoke stock program that significantly reduced construction and deployment delays, while resulting in a 20% reduction in overall global inventory
- an inventory-control based supply-chain redesign that eliminated an average of $1.1M in monthly inventory, $1.5M in future lease commitments, and $400K of annual logistics-resource costs
"We were constantly chasing orders and putting out fires," says Sandy Fortin, an executive at a leading search engine. "We knew there were things we could do to improve efficiency and optimization, but we could never get there. Our resources were scarce."
Then, Dorian Kendal and Global Spend Solutions helped the company "save significant amounts of money by creating the infrastructure needed to re-circulate millions and millions of dollars of networking equipment across 200 global deployment locations."
"Dorian really understands the concept of working with a team to meet a goal," Ms. Fortin adds. "His recommendations identified a 35% cost reduction. Dorian had a vision for what needed to get done, and he always did the work to get it done right."
