Case Study: How MAK Jobs Helped LogiFast Ltd. Cut Agency Workforce Costs by 30%

Client Background 
Company: LogiFast Ltd. (a UK-based logistics and warehousing firm) 
Industry: Logistics & Supply Chain 
Challenge: High agency staffing costs, inconsistent workforce quality, and administrative inefficiencies. 

The Challenge 
LogiFast relied on multiple staffing agencies to meet demands for warehouse operatives and HGV drivers. However, this fragmented approach led to: 
- Skyrocketing Costs: Agency markups and fees inflated payroll expenses by 25%. 
- Inconsistent Quality: Poorly vetted workers caused delays, safety incidents, and re-training costs. 
- Administrative Burden: Managing invoices, compliance, and schedules across 5+ agencies consumed 15+ hours weekly. 
- High Turnover: 40% of temporary workers left within a month, disrupting operations. 

LogiFast needed a partner to streamline staffing, reduce costs, and ensure reliability. 

The MAK Jobs Solution 
MAK Jobs implemented a tailored workforce management strategy: 
1. Consolidated Staffing Model: Replaced multiple agencies with a single-point solution for all temporary roles. 
2. Pre-Vetted Workers: Provided workers pre-trained in manual handling and pre-inducted.  
3. Transparent Pricing: Negotiated rates with no hidden fees, reducing markup costs. 
4. Tech-Driven Optimisation: Used workforce analytics to align staffing levels with demand, avoiding overstaffing. 
5. Onsite Support: Assigned a dedicated account manager to handle onboarding, compliance, and worker retention. 

Implementation 
- Phase 1: Audited LogiFast’s staffing patterns and identified inefficiencies (e.g., overlapping agency fees, underutilized shifts). 
- Phase 2: Transitioned 100% of temp staffing to MAK Jobs within 4 weeks, with minimal operational disruption. 
- Phase 3: Introduced monthly performance reviews to refine workforce planning and address emerging needs. 

Results 
Within 6 months, LogiFast achieved: 
- 30% Reduction in Staffing Costs: Saved £120,000 annually through transparent pricing and reduced turnover. 
- 50% Faster Hiring: Filled critical roles in 8 hours vs. the industry average of 5 days. 
- 75% Lower Turnover: Retention incentives and better worker screening kept temps engaged long-term. 
- Zero Compliance Issues: Full right-to-work checks and safety training eliminated regulatory risks.
