Procurement

Effective procurement can add considerable value to an outsourced solution.

Wincanton is able to apply its knowledge of supply markets and leverage consolidated buying volumes right across its business to achieve competitive cost of inputs. At the same time we remove the cost to the customer of managing these purchase transactions. Our purchasing organisation is developing and deploying professional purchasing techniques to deliver value - above and beyond price - for a broad range of products. These currently include fuel, agency labour, equipment, vehicles, utilities, consumables and clothing.

We are also investing in e-procurement systems to leverage real time market pricing to the benefit of our customers.
