Reaching refinance and exit goals by reducing costs and optimizing the supply chain

Maine Pointe — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 23:43:26 GMT

Improved profitability by 10%, backed by analysis, tools, and training for sustainable procurement savings

This story is for CEOs and PE firms who

Anticipate exiting and want to improve the valuation of the company
Seem to have reached the maximum reduction in procurement costs
Have been accepting poor supplier performance due to a perceived lack of alternatives

The Challenge

A company that manufactures various adhesive products used in the automotive, medical, and consumer industries, among others, had a critical need to reduce procurement costs. Because the company supplied industries with very rigid product standards, they found changing suppliers difficult: the qualification cycle, especially for medical applications, was extremely long and involved. Because suppliers knew that the intense qualification process limited the company’s options, they were reluctant to partner with the company to drive down prices. The company was therefore skeptical when an analysis by Maine Pointe identified far more potential savings than they had originally projected.

Driving strategic, sustainable savings in procurement and logistics

Improve specifications, contracts, supplier and parts optionality, and data quality

This story is for CEOs and PE firms who

Must manage their costs more efficiently and effectively to remain competitive
Need to look at their procurement and logistics more strategically
Want to upscale their procurement supply chain organization and ensure sustainability

The Challenge

In a declining market, with an internal procurement team that operated in a largely tactical manner, the onshore drilling rig company was finding it difficult to manage costs. Pressure from the external market and acknowledged internal inefficiencies were making it difficult for the company to stay competitive. Even when they had the right information and tools, their staff failed to use them properly; for example, they would routinely override and massage information in the system. As a result, no one fully trusted the data, creating a loop in which the data overrides and distrust fed off each other. Maine Pointe offered a combination of skills in areas where the company realized it needed help to find cost savings opportunities. Those skills included data analytics, strategic procurement, and in-depth knowledge of industry suppliers and standards.
