Is your money flying out the window?
Beyond lubrication, we reduce the indirect expenses most businesses never get time to audit — telecom, card processing, shipping, waste, fuel and supplies. Same principle as our technical work: independent advice, evidence on the table, savings you can measure.
Risk-free consulting on indirect business expenses since 2004
You incur no expense and make no investment
The review is funded entirely by what it finds. If there is nothing to recover, the engagement costs you nothing.
Average client savings of 28%
Across completed engagements, clients recover a meaningful share of their indirect spend without changing how they operate.
Risk-free engagement
Our fees are self-funded out of the savings generated. You incur no expense and make no investment to get started.
Single point of contact
We become the one contact for all service-related issues, so your team stops chasing vendors and disputed invoices.
Ongoing monitoring
Savings are not a one-time event. We keep watching the invoices, control cost creep, and measure the result month over month.
Benchmarking depth
Specialized software, benchmarking tools and best-in-class pricing databases built from 34,000+ completed client deals.
Vendor independent
We are independent of all vendors and act only with your best interests in mind — the same principle behind our lubrication work.
Fourteen categories of indirect spend
These are the line items that quietly drift upward between renewals. Each one is reviewed on its own merits, with its own benchmark data.
Businesses transact in four currencies — you gain in each
Money, time, security and knowledge. A cost reduction engagement returns value in all four, not just the invoice total.
Money
Whether the goal is creating budget room, increasing value for stakeholders, or simply improving profit, the work covers three basics: billing errors, a review of current services, and a full marketplace analysis. All three reduce cost and make spend predictable.
Time
Time is the scarcest resource in most operations. We stay on top of pricing trends and product changes in the categories we consult on, run the analysis, make the recommendations, and support implementation — so your team does not have to.
Security
It is difficult to assess every criterion behind a business services or technology decision. We bring category experience and the leverage to hold vendors accountable, so you can be confident the right decisions are being made for your business.
Knowledge
Change is the only constant in these categories. Through independent advice and documented recommendations, you gain specialized knowledge and expertise tailored to your specific requirements.
Four steps, no disruption to your operation
Share your invoices
You send recent invoices and contracts for the categories in scope. No system access, no disruption to your team.
Audit and benchmark
We find billing errors, review the services you actually use, and benchmark pricing against our database of completed deals.
Recommend and implement
You receive a written recommendation with the numbers behind it. Nothing changes without your approval, and we support the implementation.
Monitor and measure
We keep reviewing invoices after the change, resolve service issues on your behalf, and report the savings actually realized.
