BDP
Distributor: Grainger
Customer: Utah State Prisons – Gunnison, UT
SITUATION:
Utah State Prisons had some inventory issues with their previous paper supplier and Grainger had an opportunity to step in an provide a solution for their needs as well as provide cost savings. State Agencies are experiencing budget cuts across the board so any area to help ease those pain points goes a long way. We targeted toilet paper & hand towels.
RESULTS:
After partnering with our supplier contact we were able to offer documented cost savings of ~ $8,000 per month as well as a stable supply chain. The Gunnison location has started purchasing 400 cases per month of 1 ply toilet paper. They will act as a test location for this product and the larger location will plan to implement the same process when all goes well. This will be $17,712 in monthly revenue at Grainger’s Cost.
VALUE OF OPPORTUNITY: $212,500 + exposure at other locations and State Agencies
