Case Study: Leading Electric and Gas Utility achieves 762% diversity spend growth, significant cost savings and stronger compliance with Beeline

Energy Utility Expands Diversity With Contingent Staffing

Leading Electric and Gas Utility, a top-ranked Fortune 500 energy company serving nearly 10 million residential customers and 100,000 businesses, faced the challenge of expanding supplier diversity, improving compliance with internal and regulatory requirements, and driving cost savings across its contingent staffing program. The customer engaged Beeline and its Vendor Management System (VMS) to standardize processes and manage its extended workforce more effectively.

Beeline implemented its VMS across seven labor categories, transitioned more than 150 payroll workers from a legacy MSP to a new MSP with zero attrition, and introduced enhanced user support, program analytics, supplier audits, and a Standard Operating Procedures manual. In the first six months Beeline’s solution increased diversity spend by 762% via new suppliers, delivered nearly $220,000 in negotiated savings plus $167,000 in prompt-pay discounts, enabled renegotiation of overtime and a new vendor rate card, and improved visibility to mitigate compliance risks through automated onboarding/offboarding and tighter access tracking.
