What We Do

We deliver cost savings in as many as 30 common expense categories.

We don’t get paid until and unless our clients realize the savings.

Our consultants operate with the highest regard to quality, integrity, and client service.

We serve small and mid-sized businesses or organizations that want the same supply prices available to large corporations.


Why Our Clients Hire Us

They are committed to reducing overhead expenses.

They don’t have the time (or perhaps staff) to search out the best prices and the best vendors for indirect expenses. They prefer to keep staff focused on core processes and direct materials spend.

They often have multiple locations with local purchasing, and need help consolidating buying power.

How do we do it?

We review your expenses (confidentially) and benchmark them with our database and experience.

We give you an estimate of savings up front to make sure you agree that it’s worth your time.

We negotiate better deals with existing vendors or find savings with other vendors.

We work with you to implement the savings and monitor the compliance.

We don’t promise big savings; we find them first

and then help you implement the savings plan!

It’s like giving you a dollar and only charging you 50¢ for it.
