Streamlining Supplier Engagement:
RC Fornax's JOSCAR Experience

RC Fornax cut onboarding times from three months to two weeks with JOSCAR, unlocking faster access to buyers and reducing admin.



Who are RC Fornax?

RC Fornax is a veteran founded  engineering consultancy focused on improving project efficiency. The company help businesses transition from labour-based engagements to outcome-based services, which deliver results through embedded teams or external design houses. Its 3-month incremental delivery cycles provide flexibility, preventing cost overruns and schedule delays.

Navigating defence procurement

Breaking into the defence industry presents challenges, even for those with experience and connections. Rigid nominated supplier lists and extensive onboarding paperwork made it difficult for RC Fornax to engage with potential clients.  

Each buyer had its own onboarding process, requiring significant time, effort, and a specialised skill set - resources not always available in a defence SME. This administrative burden slowed business growth and delayed opportunities. 

     JOSCAR registered status demonstrated RC Fornax’s readiness to do business, reducing delays in contract placement. A contract that previously took three months without JOSCAR, was completed in two weeks with a JOSCAR buyer. 

3 ways RC Fornax benefit from JOSCAR

Reduced admin

One questionnaire covers multiple customers, reducing duplication. A centralised profile meant updates to governance, processes, and capabilities could be managed in one place, cutting repetitive work. 

Improving buyer access

On average, over 600 buyer users log into JOSCAR every month. This  provided visibility, opening doors to new business opportunities and giving RC Fornax confidence that engagements wouldn’t be delayed by unnecessary barriers. 

Support with ESG

ESG requirements can be complex for smaller companies, but JOSCAR’s team provided clear guidance to navigate these challenges effectively. 

   The JOSCAR support team were responsive and helped suggest refinements for maximum profile impact.

Paul Reeves, CEO of RC Fornax

 
“Since joining JOSCAR, we’ve connected with several buyers we may not have  had access to otherwise. Over the years, we’ve  evolved our profile and brand awareness through JOSCAR events and connections. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.”
