Our purchasing consulting firm specializes in generating
purchase cost reductions for both goods and services, for large and medium sized companies in all sectors: manufacturing,
service, financial etc. We identify cost reduction opportunities,
execute and implement them for a full turn-key solution. We differentiate ourselves by working towards a 'leave behind'
of techniques and strategies and self maintaining purchase contracts. We work either independently or in conjunction with
your existing purchasing resources.

HOW DO WE WORK?
In a typical 'cost reduction' project, we.....
- review your key spend categories, suppliers and existing contracts.
- identify and prioritize opportunities, using our price benchmarking knowledge and
previous sourcing experience.
- negotiate with your current and other
potential suppliers to reduce your purchase costs.
- work to have
all suppliers ' put their best foot forward ' to retain or obtain your business.
- leverage your purchases ' formally ' within your organization or ' informally '
with that of other clients.
- develop recommendations as to how to
proceed for your approval.
- communicate and implement the agreed
sourcing plan.
- structure the resulting purchasing agreements to
ensure that they are easy to maintain and prevent future ' margin creep '.
- track and monitor progress for continuous improvement.
