FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 04, 2008 -
Alliance Cost Containment, a national expense reduction & cost containment firm, is pleased to announce the opening of its Grand Rapids office at The Boardwalk on Monroe (940 Monroe Ave NW).

According to Nancy Stanton, Grand Rapids native and Principal in the firm, “West Michigan's challenged economy is prompting many businesses to focus on ways to improve their bottom-line. Due to a weak dollar and increasing energy prices, non-strategic expenses from paper to cleaning supplies have been rising dramatically, forcing companies to make painful choices.”

According to Stanton, West Michigan businesses, particularly those that are struggling, are seeking ways to reduce overhead and improve their financial performance without hiring specialized staff or devoting the valuable time of key management. Most small and mid-size companies do not have indirect spend experts on staff to assist in analyzing and negotiating fair market prices for commonly purchased items like office supplies, MRO, telecom and other administrative expenses. “Many local companies, particularly manufacturers, are trying to leverage reduced staffs and have their hands full just purchasing raw materials and managing cost of goods.”

Alliance Cost Containment offers a contingency-based solution rooted in a proven business model. Part of the firm's success has been its ability to negotiate national group purchasing contracts with established suppliers based on the collective volume of its entire North American client base. “The rest is our collaborative partnership with the company where”, according to Stanton, "ACC analysts do the ‘heavy lifting’ through a process that includes spend analysis, vendor negotiation, implementation and auditing".

Alliance Cost Containment's newest office is centrally located near downtown Grand Rapids and will actively market it's services to Western Michigan-based manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, educational institutions, government offices and non-profit organizations. You are welcome to contact our new office at any time.
