Realized Savings Timing 12 18 Month 1 6 Wave 1 Address: $23MM Save: $1.3 – 2.2MM Realized Savings • Telecom • Truckload • General Industrial Supplies • Electrical Supplies • Safety Supplies • Savings count 12 months after implementation • For most categories (particularly spend at facilities), there will be a ramp-up to adoption and compliance for a newly implemented supplier • Product substitution, testing, etc., may push implementation and adoption beyond the expected timeframe • Identified Savings x Compliance = Realized Savings Wave 2 Address: $38MM Save: $2.2 – 4.0MM • Creative Agency • Ocean Logistics • Document Output • Material Handling Equip • Hotels Wave 3 Address: $28MM Save: $1.5 – 2.8 • Commercial Print • Dies / Cutting • IT Hardware • Small Parcel • Air Travel
