thorough cost reduction initiative will produce long-term impact on
service and profitability. At
SOURCE ONE, this focus includes a detailed spend and service
analysis. Our strategic sourcing program can be performed in various
business sectors and project areas (direct and indirect spend) such
as telecom, freight, energy, chemicals, supplies (production, office
and maintenance), security, workers comp, benefits, insurance, etc.
A deciding factor for many clients is our pay for performance
fee structure, allowing clients to pay based on actual savings
results. The
contingency model holds us accountable for achieving results, and we
have reduced cost in some areas as much as 30-55%.
