As an organisation grows, so do its overhead costs. Effective management teams do review these costs, but few organisations can exhaustively research the savings possible. Your core business is to grow your business; it’s our business to improve process and reduce your costs.
Audit
No disruption to normal activities
In order to analyse your purchasing volumes and patterns, we conduct a tailored audit by collating data from suppliers’ management reports. Only occasionally do we require purchase invoices, and only a minimum amount of work takes place within your offices, so there is no disruption to normal activities.
Savings
Currently, we are saving clients an average of 19%—and have achieved as much as 50%—within a cost centre.
| Business Type | Reviewed | Savings | ||||||
| Bank | £1,320,000 | £380,000 | 29 | |||||
| Solicitors | £2,200,000 | £510,000 | 24% | |||||
| Insurance Company | £2,280,000 | £603,000 | 26% | |||||
| Media | £1,100,000 | £330,000 | 30% | |||||
| Government Dept | £270,000 | £99,000 | 37% | |||||
In the event that we are unable to pinpoint savings, clients nonetheless benefit by knowing their purchasing is cost-effective. This can help management focus efforts where they’re needed.
No savings, no fee
The Auditor’s consultancy arrangement could not be simpler. Either you save money or, where savings cannot be achieved, you pay no fee.
Report
Your Audit Report will contain a series of recommendations complete with a schedule of implementation.
The Audit Report defines your current procurement processes, pinpoints weaknesses, and highlights opportunities for improvement. The financial implications are clearly laid out in clear product-by-product price comparison tables.
We respect your existing supplier relationships — indeed, we often use our knowledge to help suppliers source at more competitive prices. In many cases there is no need to change suppliers to achieve savings.
Ongoing
We are readily available on an ongoing basis to assist with any supplier performance issues.
