Indirect Expense Review and Supplier Negotiation

     In today's economy, cutting costs and reducing overhead are as important as increasing sales, in order to increase a businesses profitability.  Our aim is to provide our clients with a long-term solution, to reduce the amount of money paid for regularly purchased goods and services, thus creating significant hard cost savings.  In order to identify the bottom-line results of our analysis, an Expense Management, Inc. representative will develop a detailed analysis and report that will outline the savings potential from our recommendations. 

     We start our process by reviewing your General Ledger Statement and targeting the expense areas in which we will be able to provide the greatest potential for savings.  After determining the categories in which we can aid your company, then gathering a large sample of current invoicing, we will work with your incumbent and alternative supply sources.  We select supplier(s), which only offer the highest level of service available in each industry.  We have chosen only those companies, which can match or improve the level of service our clients currently receive from their own suppliers. These suppliers will be the ones which best meet our clients’ needs.  By representing the collective volume of hundreds of businesses and combining the purchasing power of all of our clients, we are able to obtain pricing that is substantially more competitive than our clients can enjoy on their own.  In addition, our clients benefit from some unique supplier relationships that we have as well.   

     In addition in being able to provide our clients, considerable hard cost savings in various expense categories, we are now aiding companies in the E-Commerce and E-Procurement areas.  We can help drive corporate compliance and yield additional soft cost savings by performing vendor consolidation; maximizing efficiency; reducing ordering processes, payment processing (invoice processing and reconciliation) and manpower.   

     In the end, we quantify your options and make recommendations via a final report.  Upon you approval in determining which suppliers to utilize, we assist in the implementation of the new pricing or alternative suppliers.
