Valvoline

Valvoline is a leading worldwide marketer and supplier of premium branded lubricants and automotive services, with sales in more than 140 countries. Established in 1866, the company’s heritage spans more than 150 years, during which time it has developed powerful brand recognition across multiple product and service channels. It operates and franchises approximately 1,400 quick-lube locations. 

Valvoline was growing quickly (organically and through acquisitions) and struggling to keep up with the associated logistics (e.g., vetting new vendors, managing performance, and documenting spend and savings). Management approached Cushman & Wakefield for help.  

Cushman & Wakefield Facilities Solutions (CWFS) managed Valvoline’s program, including on-demand service and construction project management. A dedicated account team was assigned to manage day-to-day functions and manage overall accountability for performance and service levels based on MSA and budget.

Our team documented savings of 5% to 20% though Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) strategy, preferred pricing hourly rates, IVR, and performance management for grand store opening, allowing Valvoline to meet the deadlines. Average project timeline is nine days, and typical budget is between $105K to $330K.
