    Expense Reduction Analysts was founded in the UK in 1992 and today they are a Global Leader in Cost and Purchase Management consultancy, helping company directors save money, by enhancing the value they receive from their suppliers.

    Expense Reduction Analysts deliver sustainable cost and purchase management solutions that generate average savings of 20% across 100 different cost areas. These include costs such as packaging, communications, utilities, and office consumables, through to more strategic expenditures like logistics, waste management, property and insurance.

    Whilst our buying power is impressive, it is our extensive in-house purchasing knowledge and expertise that will truly deliver significant results. Our purchasing experts start with a complete and independent review of your organisations expenditure, once savings strategies have been identified these are implemented rapidly and then maintained over the long term producing a positive impact on both your profitability and your cash flow.

    All this is achieved without compromising the existing quality of the products or service levels you currently receive. In fact, our clients frequently see a marked improvement in quality along with access to all of the benefits we provide relating to supplier negotiations, supplier performance monitoring, and detailed management information.

    Sustaining long-term profitability through partnering with Expense Reduction Analysts represents little if any risk. Once savings are achieved for our clients this additional profit can be used to fund business development, or to directly improve the bottom line. Therefore your only decision is how soon you wish to start improving your profits.
