About Expense Reduction Consulting Expense Reduction Consulting uses a process based upon the “ERC Corporate Cost Reduction” system. Established in 1993, ERC is directly responsible for generating significant savings for corporate clients in many industries. ERC targets “indirect and consumable” expense categories, zeros in on the most common profit leaks, and shows clients how to eliminate them. ERC’s goal is to negotiate better pricing with a client’s existing suppliers or find that they may benefit from using alternative sources. The model is a low-risk, high payoff shared savings approach. If ERC cannot generate savings or if clients are uncomfortable with recommendations, they are not obligated to implement them or pay a fee, thus making the program totally risk free.
