“Insight Sourcing Group has been instrumental in our business transformation and has enabled us to become leaner and smarter with our indirect spend. We engaged them for a complete procurement transformation project which started with a spend assessment to identify target opportunities for immediate savings impact. ISG’s evaluation also included a review of our existing procurement function and recommendations for a future-state, enhanced procurement organization that will position us for long-term success. In executing upon the recommended opportunities, Insight Sourcing Group truly partnered alongside our team to deliver tangible value. The ISG team has been an amazing partner and has built a strong, credible brand reputation within our walls. I am very pleased when I reflect on the journey and the significant progress that we have made together.”

“We started working with Insight Sourcing Group almost a decade ago with a small pilot program in a single division. They quickly proved themselves as experts in procurement and analytics. Today they lead procurement projects in all of our divisions, delivering significant value and savings. They recently led cross-subsidiary sourcing projects by using sophisticated analytics to consolidate spend among our broad product offerings. In each case, the projects were a tremendous success. We consider them an extension of our team. They are highly regarded by our senior executives and are considered a strategic partner.”

“I highly recommend the Energy Practice at Insight Sourcing Group. We contracted with them to perform a utility bill audit of our electric, natural gas, water and sewer spend across our multi-state footprint. ISG Energy’s deep-dive resulted in 9% of realized savings across all utility cost categories. Additionally, they assisted with utility contract negotiations and monitored savings implementations to ensure the achievement of maximum savings.
ISG Energy has truly been a partner in increasing our business profitability.”

“We joined Insight Sourcing Group’s Office Supplies GPO program in 2011, which initially covered only our North American locations. Once we saw the significant savings the consortia program helped us achieve—and how we were able to monitor the savings and communicate the results to other business units—we extended the program globally to include our locations in Europe and other parts of the world. The program’s robust contracted pricing list helps us further maximize savings.”
