Key principles of what should be leveraged
• Supplier spend - direct and indirect
• Knowledge - best practice or expertise
• Resources - which do not need to be duplicated will reduce costs
• Investments and assets - spread the cost across multiple entities and utilize the
capabilities
• Single points of contact where it brings value - some international customers
• Selling on service, not on price

and the ongoing consolidation is

Distribution model
NDC (slow moving single stocking point)
• Supplies products direct to branch e.g. 100% parts (3rd party carriers)
• Supplies products to RDC’s e.g. 15% slow moving plumb (WUK primary fleet)
RDC (faster moving high volume)
• Supplies products to branches e.g. 80% Plumb (WUK primary fleet)
Branch (point of sale)
• Supplies product to customer locations (WUK secondary fleet)
• Customer collection point
• Receives non DC products for onward delivery e.g. bricks and blocks (WUK
secondary fleet)
