Margin recovered by buying larger orders at bulk rates instead of small rush orders
GoSolar, a home solar business, has recovered PHP 175,000+ in margin by buying in bulk. Its team used to buy on estimates and in small rush orders. On each rush order, GoSolar paid more per item than in bulk.
BizKit set up the ERP with GoSolar. Before go-live, BizKit agreed on buying rules with GoSolar's buying, warehouse and finance teams. The main rule is "no approval, no purchase." Every buy and stock release needs an approved request.
As buys went through the system, GoSolar's purchase records filled in. They showed where bulk orders had recovered margin, and where more was still to gain. Because GoSolar pays less in bulk, it keeps the difference as margin on what it sells.
When stock arrives on time, GoSolar can add crews and run more projects at once. Its new buying habits are not yet steady, and BizKit is working with its team on them.
