Case Study: Glencar

Overview:

Founded in 2016, Glencar has quickly established itself as one of the UK’s leading privately owned construction delivery partners. Known for its relationship-driven approach and commitment to exceptional quality, Glencar has built strong, long-term partnerships across a diverse range of sectors. 

With a clear focus on sustainable growth and innovation, the company continues to expand into new markets while maintaining its reputation for reliability and excellence. Glencar’s culture is built on trust, accountability, and investment in its people, setting a strong foundation for continued success and collaboration. 

Challenges:

With their growth came complex supply chains, and they sought a solution that could support them with:  

  • Streamlining their pre-qualification processes
  • Additional resource to support and manage the onboarding process 
  • A solution that was the single point of truth for all their supply chain management 

 

Partnering with LSC:

To address these needs, Glencar adopted Local Supply Chain in January 2025. Through this partnership, Glencar gained dedicated support for onboarding its supply chain and implementing solutions to streamline pre-qualification processes. 

Using LSC, Glencar can now issue, review, and evaluate all PQQs within a single platform, providing complete oversight and transparency across its supply chain. The system offers instant visibility of both approved suppliers and those progressing through the approval process. 

Today, Local Supply Chain serves as Glencar’s single source of truth for all supply chain activities, projects and procurements and the management of their supply chains performance, delivering clear reporting, enhanced control, and the flexibility to scale as the business continues to grow. 

“Working with Local Supply Chain has been a seamless experience. Their platform and support have allowed us to bring greater structure and visibility to our supply chain management, helping us maintain the high standards and strong relationships that define Glencar.”

Mark Brooks, Supply Chain Manager  

Results and Real Value:

Since adopting Local Supply Chain, Glencar has seen significant benefits from streamlining its supply chain processes: 

  • Faster supplier onboarding: A centralised system with streamlined approval workflows has reduced administrative effort and improved accuracy. 
  • Enhanced supplier visibility: Advanced tracking tools provide full oversight of compliance and performance across the approved supply chain. 
  • More efficient tendering processes: Simplified workflows support Glencar in continuing to deliver projects successfully and on schedule. 

 

LSC Statistics: 44 projects – 1034 procurements – 75 users – 450 supply chain onboarding 

Summary:

Glencar’s adoption of LSC is helping them maintain their position as a leading specialist in the construction industry. Their commitment to delivering the best value outcomes for customers is rooted in the strong, long-standing relationships they have with their supply chain. Local Supply Chain supports Glencar in strengthening these relationships while providing the tools and visibility needed to manage their supply chain effectively.
