ECM specialises in expense management solutions that help Australian businesses reduce costs, optimise supplier contracts, and improve cash flow. We work across various industries, including transport, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and professional services, delivering tailored financial strategies to increase profitability.
Because ECM brings a market-wide lens your internal team—and even your accountant—simply can’t maintain.
We analyse thousands of supplier contracts, invoices, and discount structures across industries each year. That gives us access to pricing benchmarks, unpublished discounts, and operational inefficiencies that internal teams often miss.
We work with your procurement staff, finance department, and accountants to sharpen decisions, unlock hidden value, and deliver measurable results—risk free.
Our No Savings, No Fee model means you only pay if we deliver measurable cost savings for your business. We conduct a comprehensive expense review, identifying hidden inefficiencies and supplier renegotiation opportunities, ensuring a risk-free, results-driven partnership.
ECM helps businesses reduce and optimise costs in areas such as:
Supplier contracts & procurement – Negotiating better terms for essential services.
Utilities & energy costs – Lowering operational expenses without switching providers.
Insurance premiums – Ensuring businesses get the most competitive rates.
Telecommunications & IT services – Cutting unnecessary expenses while maintaining quality.
Freight & logistics costs – Streamlining transport expenses for greater efficiency.
ECM has helped businesses in transport, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, education, finance, and professional services significantly reduce expenses and improve profitability. Regardless of your industry, our data-driven strategies uncover hidden savings opportunities tailored to your specific needs.
The timeline varies depending on your business size and industry, but most clients begin to see initial savings within 30-90 days. Our full cost-reduction process, including strategy implementation and supplier negotiations, typically delivers sustained long-term savings over 6 to 12 months.
