Pearl Logic

We do most things in-house because we have a full staff, but Pearl Logic’s audit and analysis, vendor research, project management, vendor negotiation and implementation services was something that saved us a great deal of time and money. They saved us three to four months of in-house work in deciphering and obtaining cost containment solutions. They handled everything behind the scenes. Once we provided them the necessary data, they did the market and vendor research; as well as negotiations, vendor management and implementation follow-through. The Pearl Logic team is extremely diverse and technically oriented. They were up on the current technologies and knew exactly what needed to get done. They could talk in the same language as our departmental experts to facilitate the necessary changes. We didn’t have to do anything until Pearl Logic provided the top possible options from their due diligence, which WE then decided upon. Pearl Logic also did the research to find us the best solution proposals for all the needed capital expenditure investments, for the changes. They gave us turn-key solutions, which was extremely impressive. Plus, it’s a win-win because Pearl Logic doesn’t charge the end-user any upfront fees. We actually saw huge savings, which equates to nearly $1.5 million. That’s “real” savings. Yes, very happy.

We engaged Pearl Logic for a conversion project from one particular service technology to a totally different technology. Pearl Logic helped with project management by defining the infrastructure that was needed and allowed us to choose the components necessary from vendors that we felt comfortable doing business with. Pearl Logic also came in with ideas to figure out the pricing, delivered new vendor pricing, and brought the components and the technicians that we did not have internally. They brought very good contractors that we still use to this day, and the contractors’ rates were extremely reasonable. We started seeing savings within two weeks. We saw 40%+ savings after complete implementation of the new services. We also found Pearl Logic’s rates to be extremely fair because basically they get a percentage of what we save — so it’s found money. We’re very happy that we engaged Pearl Logic. They introduce new ideas and new technologies at a reasonable price. They return large savings and pay for themselves. Your cost on investment is minimal versus your returns.

We worked with Pearl Logic on a pretty big project because we had a lot of cost areas to look into. We hadn’t renegotiated our contracts in a while, and it was worthwhile to see if Pearl Logic was able to get us more savings than we were able to get on our own. They really do so much of the leg work for you. When they present to you the potential savings, they do a good job of showing you how things will be implemented and how they help you to get there. They would show up with pre-reviewed, multiple Vendor services order forms that simply needed to be reviewed for changing services, and all we had to do was do a final review and sign. That’s it. Pearl Logic would submit everything and facilitate activities with the vendors. They did a lot of things that we knew we needed to do, but we just didn’t have time to do them. My staff wasn’t burdened at all; it was just me working with Pearl Logic’s staff. It was great having a consulting firm at my disposal to cut costs. We ended up seeing savings over 25% total, which is pretty special when we are talking about several thousand dollars per month.

Pearl Logic offers a great double check as to just how good of a job you think you’re doing with your business expenses. We retained Pearl Logic to see if there were any additional costs to reduce. Pearl Logic did everything. It was simple really, and we didn’t have to drop any other projects, they did pretty much all of the work. We just pulled the necessary project documentation that needed to be reviewed and shipped everything to Pearl Logic. They took it from there and did a great job at handling all of the vendor negotiations. Pearl Logic made it seem like they were part of a team that we put together to accomplish cost savings. I also got the impression that they were very courteous and diplomatic with our current vendors, and they didn’t over step any boundaries that would in any way negatively impact any of our existing vendor relationships. I was impressed with what they did for us. They didn’t find huge savings, which they congratulated us for, but our experience with Pearl Logic was very positive. You always think you’re doing a good job, but to have a third-party confirm that fact for no upfront cost is even better.

Pearl Logic’s no upfront fees basically gave me a no lose situation. Why would anyone be hesitant about saving money at no cost? As the General Manager of an entire complex, including four golf courses, I had prided myself on the basis that we had already explored every option for reducing costs. I went in totally confident that I had already done my homework and had my expenses as low as I could. I knew of no other way of getting them lower. Therefore, I was quite surprised when I saw the results of substantial savings of several thousands of dollars. Pearl Logic handled 100% of contacting the vendors for negotiations. Their team was very efficient and very organized. What amazed me the most is that vendors we had been doing business with for a long period of time started reducing their prices by 10% to 20% just to secure business with us for another year, primarily as a result of Pearl Logic being in the picture. Keeping many of my same vendors was perfect because there was no disruption of changing service. The most unique thing about Pearl Logic is their ability to negotiate with current vendors in a positive manner that derives results for everyone involved. It’s a win, win, win situation. It’s a win for the vendor in securing my business for an extended timeframe. It’s a win for Pearl Logic. And, of course, it’s a win for me.

Because of the current financial times, all of our departments were charged with reducing our budgets by a certain percentage. We specifically engaged Pearl Logic for reducing a variety of overpriced services, which included several departments. I didn’t have the time, contacts, tools, processes or the resources to begin to do what Pearl Logic did for us. I found it amazing the amount of time and effort that Pearl Logic put into all the client reports, data collection, and analysis. The data collection process was a piece of cake. Pearl Logic, definitely became part of our team. We did nothing but provide them with the requested project documentation and signed Letter of Agency, on our letterhead, allowing them to speak on our behalf to vendors. So, whenever there was a problem, which there were many when trying to cut ties with some of our former vendors, Pearl Logic dealt with them. Once the changeover was made to the new vendors, we saw immediate savings of several thousand dollars per month. I was shocked by how much was saved. And the no upfront fee was awesome. It’s a no brainer. Half of something is better than 100% of nothing. Pearl Logic is going to save you money, no matter what. They have the tools, processes and expertise to help you save somewhere, somehow.

Pearl Logic helped us analyze and review all of our vendors, vendor invoices, and operating costs to see if and where we could improve on pricing and services. Although we recognized a need, it would have been cumbersome and time-consuming for us to review all the information that Pearl Logic conducted on our behalf. We are a non-profit with a limited amount of administrative staff, so choosing to have Pearl Logic complete an audit and analysis project was very advantageous. Throughout the project, there has been a continuous and open dialog with Pearl Logic as they extensively researched to help us renegotiate vendor service agreements. Pearl Logic didn’t just focus on cost savings; they also found providers that can deliver better services to meet our needs. It’s comforting to know we are now getting better services for the money we spend. Without Pearl Logic, we would have stayed the course and not received improved services or pricing. A huge factor in our decision to work with Pearl Logic was knowing that we wouldn’t have to spend additional dollars until after we started actualizing some savings. It’s incredible that they do all of the legwork without any upfront fees.
