You are paying for services you no longer use
We compare what you are billed with what you actually use, and help you remove the rest. For a global manufacturer, this identified around £700,000 of savings.
The problems we help with
Most of our work starts with one of the situations below. For each one we explain what we do and, where we have done it before, what it achieved.
Your invoices do not match the contract
We check invoices line by line against the contract and help you recover anything you are owed. In an earlier role, our founder recovered around £500,000 a year in supplier rebates that had never been claimed.
A big renewal is coming up and you have little room to negotiate
We start preparing well before the notice date, test the supplier's quote and negotiate on your behalf. On one software renewal, our founder brought a £7m quote down to £4m, avoiding around £3m.
The way you pay no longer suits the way you use the service
A fixed price can leave you paying for volumes you no longer need, and time and materials can grow with no clear end. We look at how you use the service today and recommend the pricing model that fits.
You want to move from one provider to several
We review the existing contracts, design the new supplier model and make sure it meets any regulatory rules. For a UK insurer, this delivered a one-off saving of around £1m, approved by its finance team.
You need to leave a supplier, but the exit terms are weak
We review your exit rights early, plan the handover and negotiate the terms of leaving. In an earlier role, our founder saved around £2m through the exit terms on one contract.
Your suppliers are not performing as they should
We set up regular reviews and clear scorecards, or take on the day-to-day supplier management for you. In an earlier role, our founder's team delivered around £6.5m of savings from everyday IT and corporate services.
Software licence costs keep going up
We challenge renewal quotes and true-up bills using evidence of what you actually use. In an earlier role, our founder avoided around £700,000 of unbudgeted true-up costs.
Contract changes take weeks to agree
We simplify the change process so that routine changes can be agreed quickly. In an earlier role, our founder cut the time to agree a change from 25 days to 5.
Results described as “in an earlier role” come from positions our founder held before setting up Arteze.
