According to Nancy Stanton, principal of Alliance Cost Containment, "Our experience with the client has been very positive. I am happy to say that we took less than 4 hours of their staff's time throughout the duration of their supplier negotiations. We also assisted in identifying areas where consolidating suppliers will be beneficial to the client. Plus, the entire company gained by leveraging ACC’s vendor buying power and national contracts."
With the help of Alliance Cost Containment, the company made a top-down commitment to reduce costs even if it entailed changing long-standing vendor relationships. ACC's proven methodology has saved significant dollars and enhanced profits for manufacturers, service companies and not-for-profit organizations across the country.
Each highly qualified ACC professional works closely with its clients to not only deliver
quantifiable expense reductions, but to also become a trusted professional advisor to purchasing managers and buyers. The goal is to build a lasting relationship with our clients based on integrity, honesty, and professionalism.
