Case Study: Full Service Produce Company achieves flexible workforce savings with TRC Staffing Services

Demand-Based Flexible Staffing

Full Service Produce Company, a Seattle-based supplier of produce, floral, and custom packaged products, faced widely fluctuating demand cycles that made year-round labor planning difficult. To keep up with peak seasons and changing project needs, the company needed a reliable source of trained, on-demand workers. TRC Staffing Services helped address this challenge with demand-based flexible staffing.

TRC Staffing Services implemented a just-in-time staffing model, building a flexible workforce that could scale by day, week, and department while supporting multiple functions across the operation. The results included less than 8% annual turnover, elimination of third shift and one workday per week, a 32% reduction in labor-to-sales ratio, more than $150,000 in annual hard-dollar savings, a 15% increase in process uptime, and a 40% increase in production pounds per hour per employee.
