Hands-On Expertise. Exceptional Results.

For 25+ years, we've been helping organizations cut their Shipping, Telecom, and Utility costs by 10-30%. And yes, you'll work directly with our owners every step of the way.

Why We're Different.
(And Why It Matters)

Let's be honest - the last thing you need is another consulting firm that passes your project down a chain of junior analysts. That's why we do things differently at PCR.

​

Our approach has helped manufacturing companies, schools, and healthcare organizations recover millions in unnecessary expenses while making the process surprisingly painless.

Hands-On Support Across Multiple Cost Categories

Warehouse Shelves from Above

Parcel Shipping Cost Optimization

Tired of watching your shipping costs climb? We can typically trim them by 20-30% without changing carriers or disrupting your operations. Additionally, optional exclusive group rate program can generate savings right away.

Communication Tower

Telecom
Cost Optimization

If you're like most of our clients, you're probably overpaying for telecom services you may not even use. We'll clean up your inventory, catch billing errors, and help you secure better rates across your entire telecom portfolio.

Garbage Trucks

Utility
Cost Optimization

Think your utility bills are just a fixed cost you have to live with? Think again. We routinely find billing errors and rate optimization opportunities that cut expenses by 15-25%. And yes, we can often recover past overcharges going back years.

Three Ways We'll Help You Save

How We'll Work Together (It's Pretty Simple)

Cost optimization is a strategic, ongoing process focused on reducing expenses while maximizing business value and efficiency. It involves identifying and eliminating wasteful spending and underutilized resources, and aligning spending with business objectives. This can include rightsizing resources, taking advantage of discounts, and implementing processes to monitor and improve cost-effectiveness over time.

We Analyze Your Expenses

Unlike big consulting firms where your project might get handed to recent graduates, our owners personally review your expenses and contracts. We've been doing this for three decades, so we spot issues others miss.

We handle the heavy lifting – you won't need to pull your team away from their primary jobs.

2 /

We Implement Solutions

Once we find savings opportunities, we'll walk you through our recommendations in plain English. You decide what makes sense for your organization, and we'll handle the implementation based on your preferences.

Want us to work behind the scenes? No problem. Prefer to stay closely involved? We can do that too.

3 /

You See Real Savings

This is the fun part! You'll start seeing actual savings on your bottom line, and we'll keep monitoring to make sure those savings continue. We'll provide regular updates without overwhelming you with needless reports.

Our clients tell us this is the least painful way they've ever saved money.

Bottom line: Altera has obtained millions of dollars in cost savings and refunds as a direct result of PCR's assistance in contract review and negotiations. If you are looking to "squeeze" extra dollars out of your voice and data expenses, PCR should be one of the first calls you make.
