For those business that want a full review of all expenses, our process can be explained in these simple steps:
Step 1: Preliminary Expense Review We will conduct a no-cost, confidential review of your annual expenses by obtaining a copy of your General Ledger Statement to determine what your annual spend is in each category and what vendors you are currently using.
Step 2: Scope of Work to be Completed After reviewing your General Ledger Statement, we will have determined what expense areas and what vendors we will be able to help you with. We will then have you move forward with completing our Consultant Agreement so that we can start the review of your various expenses.
Step 3: Gather Historical Spend Data We collect and analyze detailed historical expense data from each of the vendors in addition to any supplier agreements that are in place. We also identify your vendor service requirements and specifications where appropriate.
Step 4: Vendor Negotiation Our team of professionals and strategic partners will engage in a vendor negotiation process on your behalf taking into consideration your annual spend and buying/usage patterns. We are uniquely qualified to leverage our knowledge, purchasing power and expense category expertise on your behalf.
Step 5: Reporting We will report back to you with our findings and recommendations along with the annual savings you will realize as a result of our efforts.
Step 6: Implementation We will implement the recommendations that are approved by you. In the event you make a new vendor selection in any area, we will facilitate the transition for you.
Step 7: Audit and Further Review After implementation, we will track and monitor all vendor compliance to make certain that you are achieving the new price levels as promised and that savings are being realized as promised. We report all savings to you on a monthly basis unless other arrangements are made.
