We utilise a fine-tuned methodology developed over a number of years. This process has helped many businesses to increase their bottom line profitability by substantially reducing their over-inflated indirect costs.

In order to understand our clients’ current costs and purchasing arrangements, our specialist team will review current and budgeted expenditure as well as contractual agreements. We will then determine the baseline unit costs against which future savings will be measured and agree an action plan with timescales based on the scale of opportunities identified. Where possible, tried and tested suppliers will always be offered the opportunity to offer more competitive terms.

We do not focus on cutting employees. We focus our attention exclusively on regular, indirect expenses such as document & customer management, equipment maintenance contracts, telecommunications, printing and office supplies; plus a range of other cost-eating culprits that you might not have given a lot of thought to, but that we are determined to uncover to uncover and reduce.

We understand the importance of maintaining an excellent service to your customers, avoiding operational disruption and staff disturbance.  Equally we recognise the continual quest for increased efficiency and cost containment.  That is why we work with your management team to ensure the changes we propose have the best chance of success, with minimal disruption and very little need for management time. Almost all of our work is conducted ‘off site’.  

We are able to provide practical, long-term cost saving solutions to reduce your outlays for regularly purchased goods and services by:

• Establishing lower prices and increased discounts through procurement standardisation, consolidation and re-negotiation
• Working with current suppliers where preferable
• Seeking efficiencies and improvements in your purchasing process
• Applying the best, time-proven purchasing methods and practices
• Working with you and your suppliers to ensure savings are delivered and optimised
• Freeing up your firm’s purchasing professionals, thus enabling them to focus on strategic or direct spend categories
• Continuing to support you so you are always satisfied with the results

All businesses from small to large or anywhere in between, waste untold amounts of money each year on indirect and consumable expenses. Expense Management UK can uncover that hidden cache of potential profits and return them to their rightful place: your company’s bottom line.

How do you know if your companies’ indirect expenses are too high? Using Expense Management UK experts and working with your internal team when appropriate we can help quantify the scale of the opportunity through benchmarking your costs against the best in the Industry.
