Case Studies
Case Study 1. Chartered Accountants & Auditors - An 11 site UK wide practice
Telecommunications : The company had a number of alternative carriers at the different offices, including cable lines. We suggested one carrier carry all the BT line traffic and re-negotiated rates with the Cable company. This and a number of other minor recommendations led to savings of 34% on an annual spend of around £69,000.
Electricity : All of the suppliers were approached and Savings of around 18% p.a. on a spend of £ 38,500 were achieved by switching supplier.
Mobiles : The customer had forty two mobile phones in use. Savings of 35% were realised on a spend of £ 28,000.
Case Study 2. Italian owned manufacturing site employing around 60 people
Telecommunications : The company had recently searched for a cheaper call traffic deal and had moved to a competitive US carrier before we were retained to cut their costs. We negotiated a new deal saving a further 15% pa with a different European carrier. However, the incumbent supplier, on being approached, eventually bettered the deal to retain the account and overall savings of 18% pa were therefore achieved without changing supplier.
Gas : The supply profile was put out to tender with most of the major suppliers. Upon further negotiation savings of 33% p.a. were achieved.
Electricity
: Savings of around 28% p.a. were achieved by switching both tariffs and
suppliers. Mobiles : The customer had five mobile phones in use. Savings
of 31% were realised without changing supplier. Waste Management : Once
a contract period has been fulfilled, we will implement yearly savings of
40%.
Case Study 3. Motor Vehicle Dealership employing around 30 people.
Electricity : Savings of 15% were achieved without changing supplier. A further 24% was gained with market deregulation in early 1999 when the supply was placed out to competitive tender.
Gas : Despite a small supply at a different location we were able to cut annual gas costs by 21%.
Mobiles : The customer had six mobile phones in use, five of them with little or no use, intended for receiving calls only. Savings of one third were realised by switching to a new supplier. A further refund equivalent to 20% of their annual mobile expenditure was also obtained due to the discovery of a 70% overcharge on peak call rates stretching back 12 months.
Case Study 4. Wine Merchants & Shippers - multisite employing 80 people.
Telecommunications : Without changing suppliers and by introducing sharper work practices and negotiating further rate cuts we were able to cut annual costs by some 23%. Savings were also extended as both local & data traffic was switched to the alternative supplier. It was also discovered that discounts had not been applied correctly to a particular line - a refund of around 50% of annual costs was negotiated for that number.
Gas : Over four sites expenditure was reduced by 15%. Electricity : Achieved savings of 22% per annum for the larger site. Average savings of 18% were introduced at the remaining three sites.
MISCELLANEOUS : We have introduced our client to a partner consultancy, who will negotiate significant savings on office supplies, couriers, banking and cleaning plus other associated areas.
