Procurement software supplier Office Canopy Group (OCG) has just announced a new partnership with
HW Expense Control (HWEC), the cost reduction consultancy division of Haines Watts Chartered Accountants,
to help businesses reduce the cost of buying a wide range of commodity products and services, such as
stationery, print and utilities.
Controlling overhead costs is a key consideration for companies looking to improve profitability in a
difficult economic climate. The partnership between OCG and HW Expense Control is designed to provide
HWEC customers with a straightforward solution to this challenging cost-management issue.
OCG provides a web-based procurement portal that enables staff in large enterprises to avoid wasting time
and money buying commodity goods they don’t need or at inflated prices. HW Expense Control has integrated
OCG’s procurement software into its consultancy strategy to ensure its clients have the right technology
in place to help them implement best practice advice.
“One of the benefits to our clients of using the OCG software is that we can ensure they are getting the
best deals on overhead goods and services all year round”, says John Linnard, Head of Client Relations at
HW Expense Control. “The functionality of the OCG technology means that deals with suppliers can constantly
be compared throughout the year to ensure they remain the most competitive in a fluctuating market”.
Doug McLean, CEO of OCG, adds, “Businesses can often be wary of changing their approach, even when it means
saving them money. By offering our platform in combination with advice from HWEC, we have created a user-friendly
solution that can be integrated into the daily routine of companies with very little hassle”.
