Case study · Packaging manufacturer, ANZ

~$20M in year one. And an in-house team that keeps finding it.

Anonymised results

What we can show without the names.

Two figures we can share in the open. Category detail, timelines and approach come in conversation, under NDA where required.

Recent PE-backed engagement

Anonymised
12%

Saved on addressed spend for a mid-market business, documented to the P&L and signed off by finance, after the harder work of getting the operating partner, the CFO and the supplier all aligned on the same number.

The typical engagement

Across the record
8–15%

Cost reduction on addressed spend, delivered in time-boxed sprints at 7 to 12x ROI on fees, which happens only when stakeholders actually move and credibility holds through the sprint. Savings counted only once they're contracted, implemented and documented against the P&L.

Why the wait

Everything shared during an engagement stays between the client and TPP.

We don't publish client names, spend figures, or deal detail without explicit permission, and getting that permission properly takes longer than making claims does.

It's the same discipline that protects the relationships and the credibility a number depends on: if a figure is on this site, it's documented, attributable, and there when the board asks.

Tell us your situation and we'll walk you through the engagements most like yours: the starting point, who had to move, and where the savings actually landed. Specifics travel better in conversation than they do on a webpage.
