Case Study: Girls’ Day School Trust achieves £200,000 in catering savings with Compleat Software

GDST unlocks £200,000 in catering savings with Compleat Software

The Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), a network of 25 schools, faced challenges in managing its significant catering spend due to limited price oversight and inconsistent procurement practices. They needed a solution to provide their Catering Managers with the data required for cost-effective decisions and turned to vendor Compleat Software for its purchasing and reporting tools.

By implementing Compleat's integrated tools, GDST was able to benchmark pricing across suppliers, unlocking approximately £200,000 in savings, which represents a 15% reduction on core catering categories like bakery, meat, and dairy. The vendor's solution provided trust-wide visibility and empowered Catering Managers with live data, leading to immediate and realized savings alongside full staff buy-in.
