Lower Costs. Less Turnover. Better Productivity.

How we helped a regional manufacturer consolidate staffing vendors and build a more reliable workforce.

Managing multiple staffing vendors was costing this manufacturer more than money. Inconsistent worker quality and attendance were driving up costs and slowing down production. Here’s how partnering with a single, dedicated staffing partner turned that around.

The Challenge

Too Many Vendors, Too Many Problems

A long-established injection molding manufacturer relied on several staffing agencies to keep its production lines running. That approach created more problems than it solved: inconsistent worker quality, unreliable attendance, and production fluctuations that drove up costs and caused delays.

  • Multiple staffing agencies, inconsistent results
  • Unpredictable worker quality and attendance
  • Rising costs and recurring production delays

The Solution

A Single Team Built Around Their Needs

The manufacturer partnered with The Advance Group to consolidate its staffing under one team. Rather than offering a generic fix, we focused on understanding exactly what this operation needed to run smoothly.
Phase 1
PHASE 01
Experienced Candidates
We identified candidates with relevant experience in injection molding processes, beyond general labor availability.
Phase 2
PHASE 02
A Reliable Workforce
We prioritized consistency, placing candidates known for dependable attendance and steady performance to help protect production schedules.
Phase 3
PHASE 03
Cost Optimization
We offered competitive rates while maintaining high-quality staffing, so cost and quality didn't have to be a trade-off.
Phase 4
PHASE 04
A Dedicated Point of Contact
A dedicated Client Specialist managed the account directly, building a deep understanding of the manufacturer's specific requirements instead of leaving them to coordinate across several outside agencies.

The Results

MEASURED AT 90 DAYS
Reduced Turnover
Improved retention by 40% and a more consistent, positive work environmen
Improved Quality
Better-prepared, more capable workers on the floor
Streamlined Efficiency
One point of contact instead of several agencies

Attendance improved alongside quality, easing production disruptions and keeping schedules on track. With fewer vendors to manage, the manufacturer freed up time once spent coordinating across agencies. 

Lower turnover also meant less time spent training new employees, so the team could focus on production instead of repeatedly onboarding. While initial rates were slightly higher than some alternatives, the manufacturer found the overall investment paid off through fewer disruptions, less rework, and reduced administrative burden.

“We are very happy with the quality and attendance of the people The Advance Group sends us. They’ve earned the spot as our only supplier. Even though the cost is a little more, we see the value.”
