We don’t just look at the cost base and locate cheaper (cheapest) alternatives. We look at the organisation as a whole, working with them to assist in driving overheads down, efficiencies (lowering consumption for instance) and value for money (ie quality) up and keeping them there. We also oversee the implementation of the chosen recommendations and then monitor and report on the improvements. Fu
rthermore, our fees are made up from a percentage of the savings we find, therefore if we cannot identify opportunities to make savings, there’s no charge for our service - a true win-win situation. Why is it of interest? Any organisation will have some degree of cost management but few can devote sufficient resources to truly optimising their procurement. As a consequence, some areas of expense get left alone as being not significant enough to matter. The fact is that collectively, these can combine to be very relevant to the bottom line. The advantage of our service is that it’s self-funding – fees are taken as a percentage of the savings identified and realised, no upfront day rates etc. Further, BCM has been working with organisations of all industries and sizes for more than 21 years. As such, there’s a lot of knowledge and best practice available that we can bring to bear. If you want to know more, contact me for a free no obligation review.
