Issue:
Needed to optimize distribution network and move to hub-and-spoke distribution. Even with 100+ North American locations, next-day delivery was a critical brand promise. They had delayed move-in dates on the last 3 facility moves before our involvement.
Solution:
Provided an entire North American portfolio strategy and have completed over 200 leases representing over 5 million SQFT. They completed 26 move-in dates in a row on time and under budget.
Result:
Avocat saved PSS World Medical millions of dollars in designing and implementing the company’s North American real estate strategy.
Client Response:
“Avocat Group saved PSS millions of dollars through the above actions and played a vital role in the implementation of our strategic plan. Because of the extraordinary value that Avocat Group brought us, I strongly recommend them to other organizations.
Below are a few of the actions Avocat Group took that brought PSS tremendous value:
- Reduced facility footprint through more efficient use of space
