20% saved: Revised courier deal fruitful for Pfizer

Many of the projects that Expense Reduction Analysts work on prove to be personally rewarding, especially when they involve clients that provide services beneficial to entire communities. A great example of this kind of client was when analysts in Mexico helped one of the world’s leading research-based global pharmaceutical companies achieve significant savings on their courier costs.

Established in Mexico in 1951, Pfizer today has a presence in 60 countries, where they develop, manufacture, and market prescription medicines for both people and animals. The industry is one that demands a high sense of responsibility, which in turn means Pfizer is constantly seeking ways to innovate, improve efficiency, and deliver more value to the physicians, patients, and communities it serves.

So, when Luisa Barraza, Standards End Processes Manager of Pfizer Mexico, approached ERA in a bid to reduce its business costs, ERA Consultant Sylvia Perales understood the need for the company's strict standards to be maintained. Working with Barraza and her team, Perales began investigating several categories, including the company's courier expenses.

"After we completed an in-depth examination of their courier expenditure, we were able to make several recommendations that, once they were put in place, enabled Pfizer Mexico to put 20 % back on the bottom line," Perales revealed.

"ERA has delivered good results because it put together detailed analysis of our business expenditures which we would never be able to do ourselves in the short-term," explained Barraza. "ERA 's knowledge of operating costs enabled our company to improve business efficiency." Your success story is waiting to be written. Get started lowering costs for your company.
