Strengthen profitability by reviewing the right external costs.
For businesses that want to know whether contracts, volumes and supplier terms remain competitive – and implement improvements where genuine potential exists.
Recurring costs that affect the bottom line
The approach fits when a cost is significant, operations or volumes have changed, an agreement has not been reviewed for some time, or the category lacks a clear internal owner.
What we need from you
No documentation is needed for the first 15-minute meeting. If the question is worth pursuing, contracts, invoices, volumes and service requirements may be needed at the next stage.
Roles and fees
Michael Flodin leads the dialogue and coordinates the assignment. Relevant ERA Group category specialists are brought in as needed. For suitable cost optimisation assignments, fees can be linked to savings actually realised; the terms are agreed before the assignment begins.
From initial assessment to verified impact
Scope
We assess which cost categories and questions are relevant.
Analyse
Contracts, invoices, volumes and market conditions provide a concrete basis for decisions.
Implement
Where potential exists, ERA specialists support negotiation and practical implementation.
Verify
The impact is followed up against actual costs.
Examples from ERA Group assignments
Carglass, Swedish Match Industries and Dollarstore are ERA Group assignments, not assignments delivered by JMF Europe. The results are specific to each case and are not general outcome promises.

We briefly look at which external costs are most relevant and decide together whether any category is worth exploring further. No preparation needed.
