A National Environmental Company Found 17% in Savings
Challenge
The client faced significant complexity in managing vendor costs and pricing across waste removal, telecom, utilities, and other indirect expenses — with limited internal bandwidth for benchmarking, auditing, or rate negotiations. This left the organization exposed to inconsistent pricing, billing errors, and missed savings opportunities that inhibited margin growth.
Approach
SIB aggregated the client’s spend data across multiple categories and benchmarked vendor pricing against live market intelligence to pinpoint high-leverage optimization opportunities. Analysts worked with incumbent vendors to secure improved pricing while preserving service levels, then implemented validation processes to ensure the savings would persist over time.
Results
in verified annual savings
- Savings realized across multiple spend categories (waste, telecom, utilities, etc.)
- Continued savings validation through SpendBrain™ monitoring
These results underscore SIB’s ability to deliver substantial financial impact across complex and multi-category spend environments without disrupting vendor relationships or operations.
CFO Takeaway
With SpendBrain, organizations build a permanent spend advantage by transforming fragmented vendor and invoice data into cost intelligence that drives EBITDA.
