Industries we serve
MANUFACTURING
The Manufacturing industry is constantly evolving, with new integrations and updated benchmarks
Businesses in the manufacturing industry transform raw material into finished products, from FMCG to more complex products to be sold to retailers or wholesalers.
Production rates can change rapidly depending on economic conditions. The manufacturing industry has also become increasingly more complex in recent years. Digital transformation, blockchain, and retaining legacy knowledge are all priorities that the manufacturing industry must manage.
We are able to provide valuable insight into the various manufacturing cost categories to provide substantial savings.
TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS
The transportation and warehousing industry includes companies offering air, rail, truck and waterborne transportation services.
The industry also includes transit and ground passenger, courier and messenger transportation services, along with warehousing and storage services.
For the transportation sector, managing fuel costs is a primary concern.
Fuel costs can often exceed labor costs, and companies may agree to buy large amounts of fuel at a fixed price.
Fuel surcharges are also used to offset rising prices.
ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Optimizing Costs To Maintain Your Competitive Advantage.
For nearly three decades We have helped thousands of businesses locate operational cash flow, improve supply chain efficiency, and deliver added value to companies across various industries. Our dedicated oil and gas consultants built their careers in the oil and gas industry, so they understand it’s a continuously fluid commodity, not by want but by necessity. Companies must constantly adapt to high and low economic cycles and environmental challenges while producing more energy at lower costs and with fewer emissions.
We have the knowledge, resources, and expertise required to help oil and gas companies unlock hidden cash flow that can be utilized to maintain a vital competitive edge.
RETAIL AND WHOLESALE FASHION
Our Specialists help deliver strong results across a variety of retail and wholesale fashion categories
Competition in the retail trade industry is fierce for large and small companies that sell fashion products to consumers and businesses.
Retailers may stock specialized merchandise, deliver exceptional customer service, and offer competitive pricing as points of differentiation.
Consumer spending correlates with economic factors including personal income, job growth, and interest rates.
An awareness of the market and consumer trends can shape merchandising strategy and help manage retailers’ costs.
A further awareness of specialist supply chains in this industry gained from years of speciality fashion experience helps our consultants provide the right advice.
COMMUNICATIONS, TECHNOLOGIES AND UTILITIES
Communication, technology, and utility industries are ever-evolving in the world of change and innovation.
Increasing capital requirements, aging infrastructure, competitive alternatives, rising operating costs (i.e., programming costs, environmental costs, etc.) and increasing governmental requirements are common challenges. These challenges are putting pressure on the industry to find other sources of cash.
Many of our clients lack the resources or have a limited depth of knowledge of each of their supplier’s and their industries. It is simply cost prohibitive and impractical to allocate additional and experienced resources to less strategic costs.
As a result, meaningful dollars are being left on the table in many cost areas like small package and LTL freight, merchant card and banking fees, office supplies, copiers, uniforms, waste, insurance, MRO/field consumables and fleet, just to mention a few.
We have the unique ability to find the hidden cash because of our understanding of the technology, communication, and utility business industries. Additionally, we have a comprehensive knowledge of each supplier’s industry. As such, we can benchmark against the market to ensure our clients are paying the right value for products and services of equal or often, better quality.
