Atlanta-based firm adds 50 of the world's top retail, healthcare and financial services companies to client portfolio
ATLANTA - March 9, 2009 - NPI Financial, a premier spend management advisory firm specializing in technology and transportation savings, today announced that it has added more than 50 new companies to its client portfolio despite a sluggish economy. The company also reports its cost control, expense reduction and supplier management services have saved companies more than $400 million in technology and transportation spending in the past twelve months.
As the recession puts pressure on companies to reduce spending in critical areas, like transportation and technology, more companies are turning to third-party spend management partners like NPI to achieve strategic cost reductions throughout the corporate purchasing and supplier management process. NPI offers a unique approach to spend management that combines extensive expertise in technology and transportation spending with access to terms and pricing from thousands of vendor contract. This proven approach allows NPI to quickly benchmark spending and identify cost saving opportunities with technology and transportation vendors.
In addition to working with clients like Marriott, Lands' End, Sears and Boeing, NPI's newest clients include an impressive list of leaders in the retail, healthcare and professional services industries. These include:
"There's no doubt that it's a cut-throat environment out there. But, layoffs and cutting back in R&D can jeopardize the long-term success of a company. Our clients recognize that the first step in running lean is to drive excess costs out of their vendor portfolio. This is not the time to be overspending millions of dollars," said Jon Winsett, managing partner at NPI Financial. "As a result, many companies are seeking out transportation, telecom and IT cost cutting firms like NPI to expedite savings and lean their budgets."
