Testimonial
"During February 2009 Rok engaged de Poel to manage its agency requirements in London and the South. Rok traditionally employed agency suppliers on a geographical basis and with little understanding of what the overall picture was. This resulted in many suppliers, varying rates even in the same location and a dichotomy concerning the quality of personnel provided. Working with de Poel has allowed Rok to understand its requirements better, to reduce its supply base from hundreds to approximately twenty, to reduce its cost base, to improve the supplier performance, to minimise its administration (one invoice per month rather than hundreds), to ensure improved compliance and to have an advanced legal perspective on legislative changes affecting this particular marketplace.
A valuable tool provided by de Poel is its etips® system. In effect a web based system with an electronic timesheet capability and the controls to manipulate management information with regards to differing requirements."
