Cutting Costs and Speeding Expansion: £352,800 Projected Annual Impact
A national food franchise (£40M turnover, 30+ outlets) wanted to expand faster but was weighed down by clunky onboarding systems. They had been debating a new enterprise software package, but intelligence revealed most competitors were scaling with lighter, automated solutions.
[ TIMELINE ]
34 days
[ CHALLENGE ]
Onboarding a new location took up to 10 weeks across three separate platforms (HR, training, compliance). This created £82,800 in wasted licence fees annually and slowed expansion by nearly a month per store. Cost of continued delay: Missing 2 planned locations worth £400K in opportunity cost.
[ SOLUTION ]
OPS replaced fragmented tools with a single automated workflow. Our intelligence scan showed rival networks were opening locations in 7–8 weeks, not 10. We delivered a system that allowed this client to move faster than the market.
[ RESULTS ]
£82,800
Saved in redundant licences
