The Cost Reduction Consultants
We are business cost cutting specialists with a track record of getting substantial cost reductions on overhead costs for our clients.
Lower business overheads have a direct impact on the bottom line.
Working closely with CEOs and directors, our current average saving is 27.2%.
If your business spends more than £100,000 a year on purchasing services and supplies, we will save you money – or charge you nothing.
Reduce Costs, Increase Profits
Our business cost reduction consultants will first establish what you’re paying now for supplies and services. We'll then then use our expertise to negotiate with suppliers and advise on possible options. We can work with you to plan and deliver a full business cost reduction strategy, or we can focus on lowering overheads in just one or two of your key areas.
Once we’ve reported our findings, the decisions are yours – because only you know what’s best for your business.
And because you pay us according to the level of savings we deliver, you can be confident we’re always looking out for ways to save you more.
Get Greater Purchasing Power
We use our clients’ combined purchasing power to negotiate prices and services with a wide range of approved suppliers, including both household names and smaller niche providers.
For each area that you ask us to look at we’ll give you quotes from several different approved suppliers. Our cost management advice is driven solely by what's best for you - because, unlike many cost reduction consultants, we don't take commission from suppliers. You can even use the information to re-negotiate with your current supplier, if you’d like to stay with them.
Maintain Quality
Procurement isn’t just about cost reduction. Our specialists have a detailed knowledge of all the products and services that we work with, and we’ll listen to your requirements before we make any suggestions. Our quotes will always match or better current product specifications, service level agreements, and payment terms.
We know the best deals on everything from audio conferencing to water coolers, and we know every trick in the book used to disguise true pricing. All quotes you get will be clear, transparent, and directly comparable.
Save Money, Time and Resources
With colleague's affiliated to The Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply, we apply best practice in our purchasing to provide a total cost management service that tackles both direct and indirect costs. We will simplify your procurement processes, handle contract paperwork, and check invoices, giving your team more productive time to drive sales and gross margin.
Lowering overheads isn't a one-off process. It's about planning a strategy for business cost reduction, without compromising on quality. We’ll manage contracts and costs for you, using the excellent relationships we’ve built up with suppliers. We’ll also monitor your usage of the product or service and recommend new options to meet the changing needs of your business on a monthly basis.
And we’re constantly watching prices and market trends so you can be confident you’re always getting the best deals.
We hate seeing an organisation spend a penny more than it needs, and we’re hugely passionate about what we do. We’re proud to say that in our five years of operation, we’ve saved money for every single one of our clients.
Our clients save an average of 27% on back office costs.
