UK Enterprise 2017

WORLDWIDE BUSINESS REVIEW / UK Enterprise Awards 2017 41 , Redro is an innovative Swindon based technology firm supporting a wide range of clients, predominantly in the hospitalitymarket. We invited Director David Lattimer to tell us more about the firmand explore the secrets behind the success it has achieved in just a year. Recognised Leaders in B2B Purchasing Software 2017 - England Established in 2016, Redro offers an innovative purchasing solution which David is keen to explain. “Purchasing is important, but selecting suppliers, placing orders and recording deliveries eats up valuable time. Controlling the process is a constant burden for your managers. If it’s across multiple sites, it’s even worse - but it doesn’t have to be this way. HMV discovered a simple, cost-effective solution. Fitness First slashed their admin time per order from hours to minutes. Inverclyde Leisure improved their purchasing system overnight. “The reason for this is that they all use our Redro Centralised Purchasing system - advanced software that cuts wasted time and puts them firmly in control of spending. Free to try, easy to set up and easy to use, they have all introduced it with the minimum of fuss. They see the benefits - you can see them too. “With Redro Centralised Purchasing, you stay in control. You decide who can place orders for particular items, where they buy them, and how much they can buy at any time. You also control their overall budget. Staff are empowered, able to buy what WUK17039 they need when they need it - but only within strictly controlled limits. For anything exceptional, their manager is alerted and decides whether to approve the purchase.” To offer clients the solution they need, Redro offers a pay as you use service, rather than a contract, as David highlights. “Redro Centralised Purchasing offers massive benefits for our clients’ business, and as such it sells itself and we do not need to charge them huge amounts to buy the software or lock them into a long-term contract. We want to build a partnership, and we want clients to know that they will be just as important to us in five years as they are on day one. As such, they are welcome to try our system for free. All we ask is that they pay in advance each month to keep using it. It is our job to ensure that they want to stay and we take this very seriously.” Overall, David is eager to emphasise the s competitive advantages which will help Redro to build upon its current success and continue to support a wide range of clients as the firm looks towards and exciting future. “Ultimately, with Redro’s advanced business software our clients can empower their staff and free their managers to focus on their core business. While their competitors are wasting their time and money on repetitive admin, those using Redro’s innovative system can concentrate on gaining new business, improving efficiency and growing market share.” Company: Redro Contact: David Lattimer Contact Email: [email protected] Address: Manor House Enterprise Centre, Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon, SN4 7HH, UK Phone: 020 8798 3713
