The goal of our Expense Reduction services is to free up your purchasing
professionals enabling them to focus on your strategic or direct
spend categories. We then target the non-strategic and consumable
expense categories that were mutually agreed upon and begin our
7 step process, “ERC’s Road Map to Cost Savings”.
ERC's ability to negotiate long term savings is
the result of a number of factors:
First, the introduction of a third party into the
purchasing process causes suppliers to seriously reevaluate their
position.
Second, since we work with more than one company
at the same time and in many cases with the same expense categories,
we are better able to determine what the market will bear.
Third, we utilize a customized process that is
usually reserved for strategic or direct spend categories with significantly
larger spends.
Fourth, we are motivated as a result of our compensation
package and make the time to follow our process and go the extra
mile.
Fifth, we ask!
Expense Reduction services generally proceed in
the following manner:
| • |
determine which expense categories might benefit from a
purchasing review |
| • |
develop understanding of current and future needs and parameters
relating to suppliers and products/services needed |
| • |
begin “ERC’s Road Map to Cost Savings”
7 step process |

present recommendations |
| • |
implement recommendations |
| • |

| • |
monthly and quarterly reviews |
| • |
quarterly documentation of savings and invoicing |
| • |

Client involvement in our process is minimal and
most work is done offsite.
