Lean Management, Optimizing, Cost Reduction

A company can improve its bottom-line by increasing sales or decreasing costs...

Acos is specialized in decreasing costs

Outsourcing is part of almost any large organisation, be it public or private. The essence of outsourcing is two fold:

• Maintaining focus on core business, leaving external experts to deal with anything outside core competencies
• Adding external expert manpower only when and if needed

Acos' core business since year 2000 has been optimizing trade conditions and pricing for more than 100 large Scandinavian private and public organisations in +10 specific cost areas where Acos has unmatched expertise. In average Acos has more than 20 projects in process, providing us with unparalleled insight into the "here and now" conditions each market represents.

What are just some of the benefits to You?

• Improving company bottom-line for competitive, stock - and price purposes
• Freeing up tied resources, be it extra time or financial
• Improve competitiveness by lowering product cost prices

Acos has a unique and well defined SRM™ - process - guided by an internal developed Lotus Notes based IT- system. We only operate with Category Experts in each area, that processes between 5-20 tenders in every specific cost area yearly, each involving (in total) up to 100 individual offers by suppliers proving data and insight our clients never come even close.

Any Dkk., €, or £ spent in vain will never return. Consequently any day passed the saving is lost.

What do the clients say about Acos:

Below is only extracts from our Testimonials

York Novenco, André Omø Agerholm, Head of Logistic-IT& TQM: \"Our purchasers were a little sceptical to begin with, but after a few projects was completed, we asked ourselves if we could \"add\" the concept of the process to our own strategic purchases. The rest of our staff has found the process both interesting and instructive. Contrary to what most companies think about the ‘No-Cure-No-Fee’ model, I was very happy finally to meet consultants willing to take a risk and I must say that I have not been disappointed.\"

Goodyear Dunlop Tires, Birgitta Yhrlund, Logistic Nordic: \"Working with Acos has meant savings beyond a double-digit million number in our import freight costs. Acos’ Post Audit process ensures effective revision of all new agreements that are signed and extra costs become visual and can be re-negotiated at once. We especially appreciated Acos’ method to deal with the purchase process - including the concept of constant follow up.\"
