ERA Group

About

The ERA Group is a global network of over 1000 cost category specialists. Our mission is to find undiscovered cost savings in our clients' supply chains through supplier, contract, and pricing reviews, renegotiating better terms or sourcing new suppliers through an extensive, data-driven RFP process, streamlining policies and procedures, and offering innovative solutions to enhance business performance.

The benefit of our service is unlocking cash flows that can be reinvested in our clients' growth, competitiveness, and sustainability.

The award-winning ERA group has been in operation since 1992. We operate in over 60 countries, covering 50+ main expense categories with multiple sub-categories. On average, we help our clients reduce operational costs by 15%. The savings result from our extensive subject expertise, benchmark information accumulated over the past 30 years, professional negotiations with suppliers, and supplier performance assessment relative to our clients' needs.

Clients often think they don't need our service because they already have a team or teams managing operational costs and suppliers. That is correct, and those teams are likely doing a great job. 

However, even the best teams may overlook savings due to:

✅ Limited capacity to scrutinize every cost category in depth,

✅ Lack of deep expertise in niche areas, or

✅ Unaware of new solutions that automate processes and reduce expenses.

That’s where ERA Group comes in.

We collaborate with the client's internal teams and serve as a fractional procurement team for the cost categories assigned to us.

✅We seek to help you achieve the best possible value from the supply chain

✅We never compromise the quality of goods purchased

✅We never compromise on service levels

✅We deliver options for financial savings, enhanced service levels, and improved supplier contracts

✅Our clients can then make decisions from a position of knowledge

✅The majority of our work is done outside of the client's office environment. Our processes, resources, and systems ensure minimal impact on their internal resources.

✅We identify, implement, and track savings over our engagement period to ensure that all the savings are realized, sustained, and even improved.

Best of all? We work on a success basis. If we don't find savings, we earn no fees. Our fees are tied to realized cost reductions, ensuring a win-win and alignment of interests.
