Sonoma Consulting Group
The Sonoma Consulting Group (SCG) provides services that reduce supply-side expenses and identify suppliers at risk. We have a proven record of delivering cost reductions for all types of organizations.
What we can do for YOU
- Cost Reduction: we significantly reduce supply-side supplier costs by utilizing state of the art assessment tools to identify often-missed opportunities for savings and negotiating significantly better contractual arrangements.
- Risk Reduction: we identify critical areas of supplier risk and, as appropriate, provide risk mitigation strategies. Especially in times of economic crisis, companies need to understand the viability of key suppliers and the potential impact on the organization should those suppliers fail. Our analysis provides this vital information.
- Negotiating Advantage: we assist your staff in avoiding the costly common mistakes of negotiation, and will participate in your negotiations at your request. Our principals are expert in both supply chain management and the most sophisticated negotiation model and process available.
When internal personnel or external consultants claim they have maximized savings from outside suppliers, we find this is rarely the case. Often after hearing, “We’ve squeezed every penny – there is nothing more to be found,” we located additional cost reduction opportunities and negotiated savings sometimes amounting to millions of dollars.
No fees or upfront costs
SCG does not bill for time or expenses. We only receive payment as a percentage of the documented bottom-line savings our process generates for your organization. We do not receive a penny in compensation until we achieve quantifiable savings for you. Additionally, we do most of the work, minimizing any inconvenience to you or your staff.
