The staff of the Community Action Council always made our best efforts to find the lowest costs. We took advantage of state-wide pricing contracts to ensure that the lowest price has been found. In spite of our efforts, ACC’s contract pricing and negotiating techniques resulted in lower pricing on over half of the suppliers reviewed in this project. The negotiations with our postage meter and copier suppliers were particularly valuable, helping us lock in large discounts for five-year contract periods.

Ohio Valley Wholesale was very pleased with the results we experienced with our ACC cost containment project. We achieved significant savings consistent with their original estimates. The bidding and bid acceptance process was smooth and easy, with no pressure to accept any particular bid. The follow-up and billing process was clear and accurate. Overall, I was impressed with your professionalism, the ease of implementation and execution, and – most importantly – the results that were achieved.

– Jim Glockner, CEO, Ohio Valley Wholesale Distributors

We worked with Alliance Cost Containment to help us analyze our spending and determine if we had the potential for cost reductions. Their team did an excellent job of involving the right people and keeping the meetings and staff interruptions to a minimum. The reports we received were informative and professionally prepared. What we loved about the process was the zero risk. If we didn’t save money, we were not out-of-pocket. We were pleased with both the results and how the process was conducted. We would not hesitate to recommend ACC to other folks interested in obtaining cost savings based on actual results.

The program was a major win. ACC’s VP met with me in person, and then we communicated a few times by e-mail. After we provided the standard information they needed, ACC put together a high-level report with recommendations for us to approve. After that, the savings rolled in. I suggest that anyone trying to contain costs give ACC a call.

We were very pleased with the services of Alliance Cost Containment. There were no downsides for us to look at several areas of expenses to see if we could reduce some of our costs. The end result was significant amounts saved in multiple areas. Our relationship with ACC helped improve our overall financial performance.

– Randy LeMay, CFO, Lexington Clinic

The obvious benefit to mention is how much money we saved after partnering with ACC. Equally impressive, however, was how little work was needed internally for it to happen. ACC rolled up their sleeves and went to bat for us. After pulling our records, our job was essentially finished. They worked through the complicated elements like contracts and supplier negotiations, taking the time to learn about our specific purchasing needs. They found savings in every category they reviewed and cut 20% off of our annual spending.

– Accountant, The Collegiate School

ACC achieved savings in significant areas. Our relationship with them was extremely helpful because we have several campuses across the state and no internal procurement department. ACC helped us identify areas where consolidating expense would be beneficial and turned those findings into savings. ACC’s buying power helped us see benefits across the entire 7,000 student institution and saved us more than $105,000 annually.

– Vice President of Business Affairs & Personnel, Galen Nursing School

It was a pleasure to work with Alliance Cost Containment. From the very beginning they were able to identify areas of potential cost reductions and drove the due diligence process while keeping the work required to a minimum for our staff. The results were very beneficial to our company, as our goal was to reduce costs company-wide and — in some cases — helped validate that we were already utilizing a low cost provider. Even more important, the process helped create an ongoing culture of overall vendor management. We now focus on reducing costs across the company every day. ACC’s staff was extremely professional and enjoyable to work with throughout the entire process.

– CFO, Payment Alliance International

Our school partnered with Alliance Cost Containment to reduce expenses in a number of different areas. The first phase included telephone services, office supplies and janitorial products. Because these first categories were so successful, we moved in to a new phase focused on reducing our printing costs which was also very successful.

– Director of Finance, Trinity High School

ACC analyzed a morass of data and helped us streamline processes and cut costs in several areas, including: telecommunications, office supplies, printing and engraving, and overnight shipping. Their work helped us move to what we call a ‘one-firm’ firm approach to procurement and purchasing. We are super-pleased with the outcome.
