Below you will find recent case study excerpts from Strategic Sourcing Projects:

 Manufacturer of Paper Products $2 billion in annual revenues – Corrugated: 

Client spending $5.5 million per year on corrugated boxes with five suppliers in five North American locations.  Source One established a clear benchmark – a fixed price per thousand square feet of corrugated linked to a market standard price for corrugated, and identified and qualified alternate suppliers interested in the client’s business.


 Electric Utility $6.9 billion annual revenues - MRO spending – paper products, plastic bags, open stock fasteners: 

Client spending $750,000 to $1,000,000 for paper and plastic products from one distributor and $500,000 per year for fasteners from another distributor.  Pricing was reduced by 7% to 10% on paper and plastic products and 70% on open stock fasteners.


 Large Construction Company – Construction Supplies:  

Client spent $2,000,000 with over 15 suppliers on construction supplies.  Source One negotiated set pricing producing 20% savings and helped implement a purchasing tool to enable personnel to quickly and easily locate the best-priced supplier and accelerate the invoice approval.


 $50,000 (8%) recovered for a non-profit merchant account project.

We saved our clients $10,000 annually on merchant account processing fees.  Also, our knowledge of rules and regulations regarding credit cards allowed us to produce a $40,000 refund.


 100% savings in banking and treasury services produced for a nationwide Industrial Supply Distributor.

By eliminating checking fees and increasing earning credits we turned a $400,000 spend into a ZERO dollar spend.


 $125,000 saved in steel drums during poor market conditions. 

With the price of steel up 238%, our client, a specialty chemical manufacturer, was still able to save $125,000 annually on their purchase of steel drums.


 Billion $ Industrial Distributor saves 50% on software and doubles the number of users in ONLY three weeks.

Within just three weeks we saved our client 50% on their purchase of E-Learning software used for on-line training while doubling the amount of licensed users.


 Rug Wholesaler with 15 locations - Express Package Delivery: 

Client spent $946,000 on express package delivery.  Pricing was based on the location volume.  Source One leveraged total company spend to reduce and standardize pricing across all locations, increased discounts for all categories of service, resulting in a 15% overall savings, and established National Account status ensuring standardized pricing across all locations, and improving reporting.


 Food Wholesaler with 33 locations - Alarm Monitoring: 

Client spending $240,000 on alarm monitoring fees.  Each location was being invoiced directly.  Source One research determined available pricing and services, leveraged total company spend to standardize and reduce pricing across all locations producing 59% savings.  Invoice audit yielded $92,000 in credits.
