PCS-Purchasing understands the distinct needs of all parties involved in the design, development, and operational launch of high-profile properties, and they take great pride in realizing their expectations. The staff at PCS-Purchasing has extensive experience delivering comprehensive rollouts for premiere properties, and they have successfully navigated virtually every complexity that can arise in the hotel industry, from sourcing hard-to-find materials to managing logistics in remote or densely populated locations.
Together with their clients, PCS-Purchasing begins by defining each organization’s starting point and identifying the right enablers that will help the organization achieve full potential savings. To realize these savings, they develop a tailored action plan for each spend category.
Together with the category managers and stakeholders, the PCS-Purchasing procurement consultants assess cost reduction potential by performing a bottom-up review of purchasing levers for all major categories of direct and indirect purchasing spend cost saving opportunities. These are translated into initiatives including estimated savings impact, milestones, activities and owners and are prioritized based on impact and ease of implementation.
The Las Vegas-based PCS – Purchasing has several projects underway including the Westin Hotel in Washington, DC. “The Westin project is a great example where we’re able to provide specific value to the client in an FF&E refurbishment because of our knowledge of how chain hotels that are individually owned operate and view such upgrades. With clients like this, we can bring both cost savings and products to provide an elevated guest experience,” stated Evans.
PCS-Purchasing Principal Lee Evans has over 30 years experience within the hotel industry both in the gaming segment with MGM Resorts, Black Gaming, and Stations Casino and non-gaming as former Corporate Director of Procurement for Westin Hotels and Resorts.
