Cost Reduction

Despite, or possibly because of, our background in the retail sector we have found that our approach to Cost Reduction has brought substantial returns to clients in other industries, ranging from telecoms to financial services.

Applying our proven retail approach to clients in these industries has led them to significant cost savings through improved supply contracts for everything from computers to clothing, lighting to leases and from pens to peanuts. Working on a low fixed rate, plus a defined share of the savings you receive, we ensure you minimise your risk whilst maximising the return from renegotiated, resourced or restructured supply agreements.

Alternatively, we can work with your people to restructure your teams, information and processes to work to principles evolved from those used in the buying departments of the major supermarkets.

Key tools that we use in both of these approaches are:

• Fully-managed electronic tendering and reverse auctions
• Industry benchmarking
• Monthly Joint Business Planning with Key Suppliers
• Terms and Conditions harmonisation
