In 2009, Tyco appointed Corporate Express to supply personal protective equipment (PPE) and work safety products used at sites nationwide.
Tyco Water Supply Chain Manager Duncan Greeney said Corporate Express was engaged because of its strong value proposition and the comprehensive range of products on offer.
“We needed work safety products that cover all of our sites – from foundries and welding sites to assembly plants – and we were looking for a supplier that could meet our vast list of needs,” Greeney said.
“Corporate Express demonstrated that it could provide us with a comprehensive list of products – all of which comply with Australian safety standards, which was a necessary must. In essence, Corporate Express offered us a onestop- shop for all of our product needs.”
Corporate Express supplies Tyco Water with a wide range of PPE and work safety products, from hard hats and protective eyewear to high-visibility clothing and boots. Products are supplied from well-known work safety brands and the Corporate Express Safechoice range.
“Corporate Express understands the products that we order inside and out, and the professionalism of its staff has given me real confidence in the products that we buy,” Greeney said.
Tyco Water has also benefited from cost and head hour efficiencies since implementing online ordering with Corporate Express’ NetExpress ordering system.
“Since engaging Corporate Express, we have achieved cost savings of up to 20 per cent. This is largely due to the fact that we are able to consolidate the purchasing of products through just the one supplier. We no longer have to shop around to find all of the products we need. We have also benefited from the competitive prices Corporate Express has to offer,” Greeney said.
