How it Works


The process is very simple and requires very little time and effort from yourselves.


  • An initial meeting will be held with you to discuss your business, your requirements and which of our services would meet your needs. We also discuss the types of services you currently procure and any issues or concerns you have with your incumbent or previous Suppliers.
  • Upon engagement, we will require as much billing, contractual and supplier information as you can provide. Any missing or incomplete information can in majority of cases, with your permission be obtained by us directly from your suppliers.
  • The analysis process then takes us approximately 6-8 weeks which will be completed off site using our bespoke analysis software.
  • Majority of our analysis will be performed from our offices but in some cases site visits may be required to provide supporting evidence to the providers.
  • On completion of our analysis we will arrange a follow up meeting to present our findings and advise you the refund and saving amounts and the reasons and accounts affected. If our findings show that no errors have been made then you have the reassuring knowledge that your own internal processes are working effectively.
  • Following on from our presentation we will take our findings to the relevant providers who will then conduct their own investigations into the errors before confirming any rebates and or savings that are due. Any refunds will be paid directly back to you.
