Approach
Learn what makes our companies successful and how the process works.
We developed the world's most advanced pricing analytics tool.
The Virtual Vendor Index© (VVI) is a predictive analytics tool that utilizes AI and machine learning to accurately determine the fully-burdened cost of an item throughout distribution.
The tool analyzes quotes within hours, identifies optimal savings timing, and uses real-time public data for fair market pricing calculations — never historical or competitive pricing.
Learn About the VVI©Proven results, every engagement.
Our methodology runs not fewer than 215 simulations to achieve a 95% confidence interval on competitive pricing predictions — completed within hours of receiving your quote.
This level of precision means our team arrives at every negotiation armed with data your vendor cannot dispute, achieving an average of 23% additional savings on final vendor quotes across all spend categories.
We make it simple to save money and recover spend.
Our companies take all the procurement heavy-lifting off your plate so you can focus on your operation.
After beginning the relationship with an education session so you understand our process and how to best manage the vendor and procurement process, our companies follow the below simple process for every purchase:
Send us your final quote.
Upon receiving your quote, we'll assign it to the appropriate Virtual Procurement company, run it through the VVI©, and perform an internal review.
Tell us about the purchase.
Have a brief call with the assigned team of experts to review VVI© results and further discuss the details of the purchase.
Reap the benefits.
Now you have valuable pricing analytics to make your decision. If you move forward, our team of experts will negotiate and finalize your transaction.
And our pricing is even simpler.
Our companies operate on a gain-share model — you are only charged when we tangibly achieve savings or recovery.
Only pay for results
If we don't achieve savings, or you elect not to move forward with the purchase, there is no charge.
Always keep the data
Regardless of outcome or decision, you always receive our pricing research and analytics.
Education included
Educational sessions and advisory services are included at no additional cost for every engagement.
