How can CRA help?
• Identify cost saving opportunities without any compromise in quality or service
• Offer a detailed analysis and summary report of the cost areas reviewed
• Full support & assistance in the implementation of our report recommendations
• Excessive supplier charges eat into a large % of all companies profits. CRA can be utilised to deal with the cost reduction of our clients’ general business expenditure when their own time and resources are limited

Points to note
• CRA is an independent organisation and does not sell products nor represent suppliers
• CRA prefer not to introduce new suppliers unless essential in achieving the best result for the client
• Client ultimately decides which report recommendations to pursue
• Current suppliers are informed of CRA's involvement
• Confidentiality assured with a confidentiality clause signed if required
• Experts brought in by CRA, at no cost to our clients, for cost areas where specialist assistance is required
• Consider this example:
A business enjoying 15% profit margins would require an increase in sales of $2,000,000 to achieve the same impact on profits as a savings of $300,000 off procurement costs would achieve.

What CRA aims to achieve
• Identify areas of overcharging
• Prices paid are as competitive as possible
• Better pricing without compromising any level of quality or service
• To assist with existing cost procurement projects

CRA Cost Reduction Analysts are experts in cost-containment and expense management, noted not only for our value for money service, but also for the close collaboration we develop with clients. We have worked with a diversity of client companies and organisations of all types and sizes, helping them to achieve savings that range from a few hundred dollars to savings amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

CRA specialise in overhead cost reduction. Targeting the areas of routine business expenditure, we form partnerships with clients to find savings in areas where most companies rarely look and where, as a consequence, overcharging and excess costs can occur unnoticed. These are precisely the areas where often significant savings are to be made.
