A Chamber member since: March 4, 2010

If you had 30 seconds to communicate to someone what you do, what would you say?

We partner with our clients to find savings trapped in their non-core operating expenses, allowing them to focus on the core parts of their business.

What is one thing that sets you apart from all others?
Non-disruptive, measurable results. Our results are achieved through subject expertise, process discipline and sophisticated, proprietary procurement tools.

Who are you looking to connect with through your Chamber membership?

Businesses who choose to drive operational excellence.

What is your #1 goal for 2010?

To have $2.5 million under review. We average 20% savings per project, meaning that we would be looking at an opportunity to put a half million dollars back into the local economy. Our clients can redeploy these funds to: ownership, maintain pricing, reinvest in their business, staff / benefit retention, or continue charitable efforts in a challenging economic climate.
