Expense Reduction Analysts has managed to achieve a significant cost reduction in office materials for the leading Polish home furniture manufacturer Kler SA. At the same time Expense Reduction Analysts helped the company to significantly increase the sales for leather scraps. On average Kler reduced office expenses by 17%. With leather cuttings Kler increased sales by 77%.
The yearly expenses for office materials at Kler reached 340 thousand PLN while sales of leather scraps were close to 160 thousand PLN. Since Kler pays special attention to quality Jerzy Kusina, office material expert at Expense Reduction Analysts, mainly focused on quality rather than on cost reduction. Nonetheless, the expenses for office materials could be reduced by optimising the purchasing process and by coming to a new agreement with their current supplier.
The unusual leather cuttings project was based on the principle of getting higher sales prices for the cuttings without significant cost increase for preparing the material. This project generated significant increase in sales due to cooperation with selected suppliers that guaranteed a stable purchase level and attractive prices.

We think very highly of their expertise, flexibility and ability to understand our needs” – says Tadeusz Respondek, deputy CEO of Kler SA.
