Much less than you'd expect. We are senior consultants who take on the vast majority of engagement work, including analysis, supplier outreach, competitive sourcing, and negotiation. We know your team is already running at capacity, so we operate as an extension of your organization rather than a workstream that lands on your plate. You'll be involved at key decision points, but we handle the execution.

We offer three fee structures depending on client preference: fully at-risk fees tied to documented savings, a hybrid model, or a fixed fee arrangement. All three are designed to align our incentives with yours.

You work directly with senior consultants, not junior staff or offshore teams. Our consultants are drawn from McKinsey and BCG and have run these processes dozens of times across industries.

In 85% of categories, clients stay with their incumbent vendor at better pricing and terms. Our process creates competitive pressure without requiring operational disruption.

Most engagements run 6 to 12 months depending on the number of spend categories in scope and the complexity of the sourcing process for each.

We have sourced more than 100 distinct spend categories across all SG&A, including business services, technology, capital goods, commodities, COGS materials, and travel and entertainment.

We focus on mid-market companies, typically with $50M to $1B in revenue, where outside spend is material but a dedicated strategic sourcing function does not exist internally.

Yes. A significant portion of our engagements are with PE-backed portfolio companies where procurement value creation is part of a broader EBITDA improvement initiative.
