Sanese Services – Food Services in Columbus, OH
The vending operation was looking to control their cost of goods to maintain low costs for their vending consumers. The frontline
associates were engaged to develop a system to measure and maintain daily product cost efficiencies. Scorecards reporting
daily sales, costs and wastes equipped them to budget and manage their field inventories. Extending the focus into the
warehouse operations, we were able to identify system capabilities not being utilized. Efficient picking paths, weekly inventory
reconciliation and daily driver pull sheets reduced inventory variations by over 90%. Open communications between associates
and management brought a team focused approach to improving customer satisfaction and account profitability. ROI – 5x
