Rentokil-Initial Plc, a fortune 500 company, have appointed 247Time as their Mutual Vendor for temporary staff in the United Kingdom.

With over 250 locations and at peak more than 1,600 temporary workers accross the UK, Rentokil-Initial Plc, are one of the UK's largest users of temporary agency staff.

With such well know brands including Initial, Ambius, Autograph and City Link, it was vital for Rentokil-Initial to appoint a partner who not only had the technical expertise to provide a simple online hours management sytem but more importantly a partner who would understand the core values of each business and ensure best value was provided at all times.

247Time have been appointed to provide the following services:

- Management of all hours and consolidation to a single electronic file allowing for simple accounting and payment direct to all agency suppliers in a single bacs file transfer.

- Audit and compliance checks of all supplying agencies to ensure legal, moral and ethical standards are of the highest level.

- Tender management services for individual large user site and divisions within Rentokil-Initial.

- Pro-active assessment and solution design at local site level to ensure best service and value for the individual requirements.

Commencing on 23rd October 2011 247Time has already driven sugnificant cost savings for Rentokil-Initial Plc without reducing payrates to agency workers or supplier margins.

"The key for us is to understand the detailed requirements of each operation at the user level and tailor a solution to that site.  247Time is not just an electronic system, it is about the people working together, face to face, to understand each others business and how we can help our clients become more succesful.  One of the huge advantages of 247Time is that the system allows for a single electronic file to make payments directly to all suppliers with just one transaction.  Without a 3rd party involved in the payment process our clients and suppliers can have a much closer relationship and understanding which ultimately means a higher level of service."
