Strategic Sourcing

A 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%.

Cost Reduction- 

Our Cost Reduction Initiative includes benchmarking against “best practices,” spend analysis, strategic sourcing and negotiation with suppliers, acquisition process reengineering and supply chain optimization, organizational change management, and e-Enablement. These actions provide the foundation toward achieving our collective results.

Audit-

The focus of our Audit Service is to ensure accuracy in billing versus contract terms and conditions. Our attention to detail uncovers billing and service errors, allowing us to recover credits or refunds due, in such project areas as telecom, office supplies, consulting, maintenance agreements and printing. As an ancillary benefit, Source One provides analytics on supplier performance to ensure continuous improvement.
