Big wins: Over $66K saved in the first year, flexible staffing solutions, access to expert supply chain support
Cost savings, flexibility, and a winning story are celebrated. Join us as we explore the success story of Grateful Fred, an e-commerce business, and how partnering with More Staffing created a ripple effect of wins.
Meet Our Client:
Grateful Fred is an e-commerce business known for its high-quality chrome badges, metal stickers, and custom emblems. The startup company had under ten employees when it initially engaged with us to help recruit a full-time Supply Chain Manager. But as their needs evolved, we introduced them to a more flexible solution through our fractional supply chain support services. Instead of hiring a full-time employee, Grateful Fred accessed a team of skilled professionals, including a Supply Chain Manager and a Techpak Designer, without the overhead costs associated with traditional staffing. This approach saved them over $60K in the first year, providing the expertise they needed while avoiding the high costs of full-time staff.
What We Delivered:
Grateful Fred initially approached us with the goal of hiring a full-time Supply Chain Manager. As their business needs evolved, we recommended a more flexible solution: providing a fractional team consisting of a Supply Chain Manager and a Techpak Designer.
To meet their needs, we delivered this skilled team at an unbeatable rate of $25/hr. The Supply Chain Manager was engaged at this rate, and we included the Techpak Designer at no additional cost as part of our commitment to offering comprehensive support without increasing their budget. This approach allowed Grateful Fred to access top-tier expertise while keeping costs significantly lower than traditional full-time staffing.
Each role had unique skill sets and specific qualifications, including experience and proficiency with essential tools to ensure optimal performance.
Supply Chain Manager:
- Managed supplier relationships and coordinated with freight forwarders.
- Developed procurement strategies that improved efficiency.
- Achieved a 15-20% reduction in operational costs.
- Specialized in comprehensive supply chain management tailored for e-commerce.
Techpak Designer:
- Produced detailed technical drawings and precise measurement specs for garments.
- Compiled a thorough Bill of Materials (BOM) for production.
- Defined construction methods, fabric specifics, and labeling needs.
- Collaborated closely with production teams to ensure quality and adherence to design specs.
By leveraging More Staffing’s extensive network and rigorous vetting process, Grateful Fred was able to quickly onboard highly skilled remote professionals, significantly enhancing their operational efficiency while maintaining budget control.
