Southern California Casino Cleans 42% off Their Budget on Their Linen & Terry Laundry Services Bid

Southern California Casino ran a bid for Linen & Terry Laundry Services, with 4 participating suppliers.  In the 1 hour and 6 minute event, 234 bids were placed with 59 first place turnovers. The spread between 1st and 2nd place was 1.96%, reaching true market value.  This tribal gaming and resort saved 42% off their budgeted spend for a three year contract.  This was their 2nd event with eBridge after procurement director’s high recommendation of his experience in the first bid.  His enthusiastic recommendation to Gaming Executives reinforced the successful partnership that was developing.

The General Manager commented that we had exceeded his expectation by over 3 times the final savings that he had hoped for.  Throughout the bid, the GM just couldn’t believe the competitive environment of the suppliers who wanted to earn their business.   The Executive Housekeeper who worked directly with eBridge throughout this event also commented that this tool makes so much sense for all their purchasing needs.    He said “The results that we received from using eBridge’s reverse auction process far exceeded our expectations.  I believe this to be a very powerful tool in finding the true market value of products/services.  With this process, I believe a buyer can really find their maximum savings potential.” – Executive Housekeeper & Environmental Services Manager

In the post follow up with the Executives, they both rated our process, expertise, service and results a 5 star rating or 10 out of 10 scorecard!!   They are considering their next purchases for e-Procurement including linens, robes, towel and capital purchases.  We look forward to serving the entire team and continuing to be an extension of their procurement strategies!!
