Put downward pressure on your expenses
Lower the amount you pay and maximise the benefits to your bottom line with Supply Clusters
The quick, easy and robust way to manage costs
Most large Australian companies spend over 50% of their revenue on goods and services. This is either direct costs of sale, or indirect business expenses on the P&L.
This is all addressable spend which can be targeted for cost-down. And, more importantly cost-out.
Finance teams are always time poor. It is a big ask to have the in-depth knowledge across all expense categories. Understanding the nuances and contractual traps of various categories is not simple. This is on top of all the knowledge required in finance departments.
So why do finance professionals like you choose to partner with Supply Clusters?
1
YOU WANT TO QUANTIFY RESULTS
Too often promised savings do not land in the P&L. We provide a simple way to deliver and manage cost savings ongoing.
2
SOME CATEGORIES ARE TOO SMALL TO WORRY ABOUT
You can still ensure due diligence and savings. Whether the category is small (or large) we make it easy for you to manage. Every dollar saved can add up to a significant impact on the bottom line.
3
YOU ARE NOT SURE WHERE TO START
Being an expert in every area of business spend is unlikely. Our team is there to support you every step of the way.
4
YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF FEE-FOR-NO-SERVICE CONSULTANTS
