Our Story
We have teamed up with state of the art business solution providers with the ability to recommend the best solution for your needs. We will work closely with you and your staff to determine how to best solve your End to End needs. We have access to everything from Product Design and Manufacturing Engineers, Buyer, Purchasing Directors and CEO’s to assist.
Our Approach
Being part of multiple Cost Management startups, it became obvious that most organizations need help getting off the ground and showing an improvement to their bottom line. Business solution providers, software providers and consultants are great at showing you what you need, but not getting you to the bottom line performance improvements you require. This is where the Center for Strategic Cost Management Comes in.
From the very first meeting, we will work TOGETHER with your team to determine were we should focus. Do we need to look into Product Design, Competitive Assessment, Procurement, Manufacturing, Costing and or Sales? An “End to End” approach.
With our suite of solution offerings we can tailor the strategic plan to capitalize on your strengths and shore up your weaknesses.
Our key difference is that we’ve “been there, done that.” We know what it takes to take this from concept through implementation and will help you through each step as much or as little as require. We will not just sell you software but show you how to implement it and the philosophy and the governance to maintain it though bottom line realization.
