Our Process

Review Vendor Spend
We look at 12 months of expenses across all categories from your general ledger to give you the big picture view of your spend and identify high-potential savings areas.
Define the Scope and Roadmap
Decide which expenses you want to tackle first. We meet with internal stakeholders in each expense category to gather additional details and data and obtain authorization letters permitting us to work directly with your vendors.
Analyze, Negotiate, and Present the Opportunity
We thoroughly audit your spend, invoices, and contract terms and conditions, uncovering every area for savings and optimization with existing vendors and services. Upon request, we can also look at sourcing alternate vendors. You review the full scope of opportunities and decide which to approve and implement.
Implement Savings Strategies
We put new contracts and rates into effect and provide your internal teams with documentation of all new pricing agreements, terms, and conditions. When you save, we share a portion of the savings, so there are no upfront costs and no risks to you.
Validate Savings and Ensure Contract Compliance
We partner with you throughout the scope of your new contracts and service agreements to keep vendors in compliance, validate savings, and ensure you are receiving all negotiated services. We proactively look for new or additional savings opportunities to ensure best-in-market rates for the long term.

“…SIB achieved major savings across the board without diminishing our vendor services or relationships… Their findings were clear and detailed and accurate…I would gladly recommend SIB to other large healthcare providers that could use help with an outside audit.”

Jason Dobry, MBA, CPSM

Senior Director of Spend Management

“…They exceeded our expectations… We were thrilled to hear that SIB found annual savings in the six figures including huge savings in credit card processing—one of our largest expenses. Partnering with SIB is a win-win.”

S. Karen Bullock

“We have been very pleased with the savings generated, the process, and on-going communication. The work will deliver reduced utility costs of over $1.2 Million with removal of surcharges and more optimal tariff rate choices. Not only did they generate significant savings for us, but their practice groups are completely self-contained and they conducted their work with very little staff support. ”
