Cost
Reduction Services specialises in reducing the prices paid for all utility
bills, including telephone, electricity, gas, water, and waste.
In
a fast changing business world, even the best managed companies can find
it difficult to obtain the lowest prices for all their utility bills.
*
* *
Most
firms seek keen prices, but often pay more than they should, because they
are not fully aware of recent market changes, new technology and new sources
of supply.
Our
extensive knowledge of suppliers and access to bulk discounts, enables clients
to make substantial cost savings with no reduction in quality.
Even
firms with a professional purchasing manager can benefit from our service.
The savings we make improve your cashflow and profitability.

HOW IT WORKS
- Our procedure is:
THE
AUDIT -
after CRS have agreed which cost centres
to investigate, we examine relevant invoices over the past 12 months. CRS
will spend as little time as possible at the client's premises, so there is
minimum disruption.
THE
ANALYSIS -
from the audit, CRS establishes the patterns of historical
purchasing and prices paid. These provide a detailed knowledge of the client's
requirements, enabling CRS to match the client's needs with a range of suitable
suppliers from CRS's extensive database and to obtain firm quotations.
THE
COST REDUCTION REPORT -
CRS prepares a detailed report for each cost centre,
identifying recommended savings that can be made without any loss of quality
or service.
THE
ACTION - CRS
helps the client to implement the cost savings and in addition, CRS remains
in regular contact for the length of the agreement to ensure that the client
continues to receive the best available prices.
