Overview

In Canada, 80% of companies focus primarily on their strategic investments, thus missing out on opportunities for significant savings on their indirect expenses. While companies know they should be addressing these costs, reducing indirect expenditures while also optimizing services can be challenging.

Savings averaging 30%-40% can be achieved on indirect expenditures when they are mapped against industry benchmarks and actual usage patterns. Even companies who are convinced their costs are optimized still have the potential to achieve an additional 15%-20% in savings.

Our team of experts have developed benchmark pricing of what companies of a certain size, geography and industry should truly be paying for their indirect costs. Our review is supplier-agnostic and focuses on matching your needs to the best-in-class service and the lowest pricing.

We boast a 100% success rate in uncovering savings for companies that have limited procurement resources, in addition to larger companies that operate with a well-established procurement team. Put simply, our goal is to operate as an extension of your procurement team and compliment their business objectives and cost-savings target.

Common Industry Challenges

It is imperative that companies implement new strategies to ensure they are not overlooking opportunities for potential savings, However, analyzing and managing indirect costs does have its own set of challenges:

• Most companies lack the internal expertise and time to properly manage their indirect costs.
• Analyzing services that are not part of a company’s core competency is taxing on their team, and understanding each spend category is difficult and time-consuming. Costs may be easily overlooked while companies are focusing on other critical business needs.
• Services, technologies, and prices are constantly changing, making it very difficult to keep up with changes without a dedicated resource.
• Comparing providers and services objectively can be difficult; providers are frequently reinventing their services and changing terminology, making comparisons challenging.
• Paying only for services that are tailored to your needs and usage can be challenging.
• The terms and conditions of contracts often favor the service provider, including automatic renewals or additional costs for minor changes.
