ELEVATION success has been found in all aspects of business, including janitorial services. One ELEVATION idea recently completed involved competitively bidding local janitorial supplies for the Lowell facilities. To complete this project, the spend from office supplies, print consumables, office furniture and janitorial supplies were all pulled together into one large competitive bid. This resulted in better pricing for all of these categories beyond what would have been achievable had these categories been bid out separately.
This ELEVATION idea had many benefits, including:
It proved the value of working together across the organization
It demonstrated the benefit of a center-led procurement capability
It showcased the need for a more structured approach to competitively bid spend categories

It reduced annual spend for janitorial supplies in Lowell by 18%
Competitively bidding these services has had an immediate and positive impact on the Lowell facilities, and illustrates the importance of looking at all aspects of J.B. Hunt when looking for opportunities for improvement.

Thank you to everyone who made this idea a success.
