Outline
Is your business pressed for cost savings? Join us to gain insight and professional tips to Identify Substantial Savings in your most Elusive Spend - “Indirect Spend”
Jesse Mendelson is a Group Managing Director at LogicSource Inc., where he focuses on helping companies in all industries (including hospitals and healthcare) buy and operate better.
Jesse will share his insights into more innovative approaches to the management of Indirect Spend and show how companies can save significant dollars!
With over 20 years of experience in supply chain and procurement, Jesse is looking forward to sharing his experience with a focus on how he implements LogicSource’s unique business model with companies across the country. This unique approach supports improving the efficiency and especially optimizing the spend on everything from Inventory and throughput to operations and most of all, supply chain and procurement.
Jesse’s current focus is helping clients manage the ever-elusive Indirect Spend, otherwise known as the goods and services needed to run the business, which often cost as much as 20% of revenue (to put that into perspective, 20% of a $500M business is $100 Million dollars!). Even an 8-10% savings on that 20% could be $8-$10MM!!
Indirect Spend categories can be fragmented, embedded and hidden in expense reports and department budgets. It typically includes goods and services and non-product expenses supporting daily operations like:
• IT
• Marketing
• Logistics
• Business Supplies
• Janitorial, Facilities, Security
Indirect Spend is often under-resourced, decentralized and offers untapped potential for profit improvement!
Jesse will share his insights into more innovative approaches to the management of Indirect Spend and show companies can save significant dollars!
