Strategic Sourcing and Supply Chain Services

Whether you need support for individual projects or help managing entire programs, we are your one-stop sourcing shop with the people, processes, tools and experience to address all your cost-reduction needs and ensure your organization’s bottom-line growth.
By following a strict Six Sigma performance reporting method, our dedicated team of specialists applies fresh, innovative thinking and proactive problem-solving to drive measurable and sustainable profit improvement for your business. Through a holistic, cross-functional approach and a unique focus on indirect procurement, we create true partnerships with our clients to achieve strategic value beyond traditional cost-cutting tactics.

Contingency-based Cost Reduction

Mach Five Capital provides our Strategic Sourcing services at NO incremental COST to you through a 100% pay-for-performance model, where our we share the savings that we deliver to you.  Our portion of the shared savings consists of two parts:

  1. Two (2) percent of the contracted annual spend, plus

  2. Twenty (20) percent of the total savings delivered

​

  • For example, if your company currently spends $1M on a particular category, and Mach Five Capital delivers 15% savings ($150,000), your net savings would be $100,000/year, and our fee would be $50,000 (2% of $1M spend plus 20% of $150k savings).  There is NO risk or incremental cost for your company as our fee is paid from the proceeds of the savings delivered.
