Transforming Global Procurement and Supply Chain Performance.

The Opportunity
Deliveroo, the high quality online delivery business, was experiencing such worldwide business growth that operational procurement needed to take a next step in delivering a sustainable procurement model.

Deliveroo approached PEPCO with a bold and comprehensive brief - deliver a step change in the cost base for core items and support the business to put in place the people, systems and processes to:
• Leverage the brand
• Lock down savings
• Operate consistently

TrueValue Strategy
The first stage was to work closely with Deliveroo to review the existing global procurement structure and design a plan for operational development and EBITDA improvement.

PEPCO supported Deliveroo to deliver organisational change and accelerated category improvement plans to support long-term growth. Categories addressed included Rider Supplies, Telecoms, Logistics & Distribution, Business Rates, Marketing, Print, New Office Fit-out, New Products and Travel.

Once we had the insights we worked with Deliveroo to build a tailored strategy for each category, which supported immediate and long-term growth requirements. Cost Reduction, Working Capital, Specification Review, Demand Management, ESG and Supply Chain Optimisation were all considerations when forming individual strategies. Ultimately, the best fit business solution was delivered for each category supported by significant EBITDA and operational improvements.

Savings of £6.2 million or 19% of spend addressed
The results have been substantial and rapid.

"PEPCO assisted us with the development of our procurement operating model to support our global growth, delivering some meaningful savings by reviewing our supply base and renegotiating key agreements to ensure cost and operating efficiencies. They were excellent at integrating within the team, understanding the requirements of our business and developing the start of an excellent pathway for the future. We would highly recommend them."
