Become an Archco Client

Opportunity

A third-party logistics company came to us after realizing that the current way they were filling their labor needs was just not working well enough for them to meet their business growth goals.

Due to their need for a large volume contingent labor force, the 3PL company was invoicing labor from five vendors with five different invoice formats and supporting the documentation had created an invoice and accounts payable nightmare. With so many vendors, there was no accountability regarding the cycle time to fill the client's request for additional employees and no ability to manage and mitigate the resulting overtime costs. The client was unable to consistently manage its labor force with one set of policies and procedures, leverage its total volume to drive a competitive discount price and the five vendors supplying the client's labor force were competing with one another for the same employees via the same media recruiting sources. The client was severely challenged to flex its labor force up and down daily as driven by their needs.

Solution

Archco mobilized its Strategic Alliance Implementation Team to help the client. Through our program, we were able to manage the entire labor force via one set of core policies and procedures mirroring those of the client. Through Archco's Strategic Alliance Guarantee, the client was able to staff its facility 100% every day and leverage full accountability to one true business partner, Archco, for all staffing requirements. Because of Archco's volume discount pricing, the client enjoyed significant cost reduction and Archco's consistent and concise recruiting and screening procedure allowed the client to meet all of its employment and diversity needs.
