Bringing Spend Reduction Opportunities to Light

What We Do

It seems these days that so many powerful forces have conspired against buyers trying to reduce costs. Leaned out corporate resources have left buyers doing the work of three people while supplier industry consolidation has left these overburdened buyers with fewer options than ever before. And, seizing on this opportunity, suppliers have exacerbated real inflation with a range of “margin-grabbing” tactics.

Far too often, buyers find themselves eating significant cost increases, or at best, extending term and making high-dollar commitments while getting nothing in return. It’s an extremely difficult climate in which to reduce costs, and in these times, buyers must better arm themselves for their marketplace battles.

At Fine Tune, we help our clients actually reduce their indirect services costs, ensuring not just reported “savings”—which, under the status quo, are quickly eroded—but real and lasting P&L impact.

  • Our experts know what’s possible in the most complex indirect service categories, and they know where to look to find leverage and opportunity lurking beneath the surface.
  • Our auditing and expense management technology—eMOAT®—shines a light on problems in the spend data and enables our experts to act efficiently.
  • Our model of continuous management ensures that our spend reduction initiatives hit the P&L and stick, as we vigilantly fend off your vendors’ margin-grabbing tactics.
