Butlers is a company that has very loyal staff, many of whom who have stayed with the company for many years, over twenty for a good few, and have seen their careers develop along with the growth of the company.
We were initially attracted by your ‘no savings no fee’ proposal.We were happy when Cost Map confirmed that some categories were already under control.We were also pleasantly surprised however when substantial savings were identified for other categories.
WAVIN IRELAND
Wavin Ireland is a member of the Wavin Group – the world leader in plastic pipe systems for residential, non-residential and civil engineering projects.
Systems offered, include market leading above and below ground drainage and Hep2O hot and cold plumbing and underfloor heating, as well as a wide range of Wavin drainage and stormwater management solutions for all application areas.
We engaged Cost Map to review our overheads and identify savings. The project resulted in savings being achieved for eleven of the fourteen categories reviewed. The savings were accomplished by straightforward price reductions from existing suppliers, the introduction of new suppliers.
GATE GOURMET
Gate Gourmet is the leading independent provider of airline catering and provisioning services. If your needs are land-based, Gate Gourmet provides catering and provisioning solutions for airport lounges, convenience stores and related establishments.These savings were achieved without effecting the high level of quality we expect from our suppliers. We were also impressed by the professional approach taken by Cost Map to both our suppliers and to our own staff. Cost Map’s approach was methodical, results orientated and did not tie up Gategourmet.

Cost Map’s ability to swiftly analyse costs and provide cost savings solutions either with current or alternative suppliers is a decided advantage while payment of fees based on actual savings make it a very attractive option.

Thousands of invoices were obviously sorted, condensed and analysed to provide a meaningful picture of our company from the bottom up. We felt Cost Map worked with our staff in a helpful way and handled supplier negotiation in a formal and professional manner.

As the savings were considerable, Cost Map’s fees were self funding and the entire process took very little of our time, I would be happy to recommend the service
