Dobbies Garden Centre
	Dobbies Garden Centres needed a supplier that could deal with the demand and supply of uniforms to their outlets all over the UK.

Dobbies Garden Centres are currently in eighteen locations primarily in the North and Scotland. They had a range of garments that were being purchased from their previous supplier. The company were disillusioned as there was no real stock control and the workload on the person responsible was far in excess of the time available.

The brief for this client was to get rid of the problems, develop the range to stop managers from ordering other regularly used work wear and safety footwear items from various other sources at different cost prices.

Make recommendations to improve the quality of the product and enhance the branding. As a result Beaver were awarded the contract.

All of the existing stock was sent to Beaver International and each item was inspected for quality, re branded and bagged and given a code number.

Order forms were developed and each location manager became responsible for placing their orders direct to Beaver International either by e-mail or fax.

The orders were then sent direct to the ordering location. Monthly reports are sent to the clients Head Office together with any re-ordering requirements. Lead times for each item are taken into consideration as some of the items are manufactured offshore.

The client informs Beaver International if any large increases of employees are expected due to new locations being opened or existing locations being enlarged. This way stock is adjusted accordingly.

The total cost saving in using Beaver International as an exclusive supplier for their corporate wear paid for all the extra functions that Beaver International offered as part of their package.
