A SERVICE OF MANDERS' CONSULTING SERVICES LLC — GRAND RAPIDS, MI

You don't pay unless
we find the savings.

Fractional procurement leadership for West Michigan manufacturers — supplier negotiation, contract review, and sourcing strategy, priced entirely on the savings I deliver.

Most manufacturers under 150 employees can't justify a full-time procurement director.

That gap doesn't stay neutral — it shows up as unreviewed supplier contracts, stale pricing, and margin that quietly erodes every quarter nobody looks closely.

A fractional engagement closes that gap without adding headcount, and without asking you to pay for time rather than results.

Where the savings usually are.

Supplier negotiation

Renegotiating pricing, terms, and payment structures on contracts that haven't been revisited in years.

Contract & category review

A structured audit of active supplier agreements to find where cost, risk, or service terms are out of line with the market.

Sourcing & logistics strategy

Vendor consolidation, freight and inventory review, and RFP process cleanup to reduce total cost of ownership.

Three steps. Paid only from what you keep.

01

Free spend review

A no-cost look at current spend and contracts to identify where real opportunity exists — no obligation to proceed.

02

Baseline & agreement

We agree in writing on the current baseline spend and exactly what counts as a verified savings.

03

You keep the rest

I'm paid a share of realized savings over the following 12 months. If nothing is saved, nothing is owed.

Let's find out what's sitting in your supplier contracts.

A spend review costs nothing and takes one conversation to schedule.
