Who we are
About Us
Stonebridge Sourcing Solutions was formed in 2005 to serve mid-market corporations throughout North America, developing sourcing strategies that reduce expense across a broad range of expenditure categories.
Many corporations are realizing that the power of a dollar saved impacts EBITDA more than a dollar generated through sales. A company with a 5% profit margin must generate $2 million in revenue to earn $100,000 of profit — while $100,000 in expenditure reduction hits the bottom line directly.
"With less than 50% of purchases being closely managed, many companies are spending millions of dollars each year inefficiently as a result of poor sourcing decisions and category spend strategies."Royal Bank

Testimonials
In the words of our clients
It is easy for companies to state how good they are and how they service their clients. Nothing supports a company's service more than hearing directly from past and current clients.
"We found that Stonebridge invested the time and energy to develop solutions to target our business needs, while focusing on reducing the total cost expenditure and improving the service and technology applied. The end result was providing the company with significant cost savings by refocusing our attention to the importance of procurement within our organization."
"Stonebridge was able to introduce a number of new and innovative vendors to our supplier portfolio and took the time to understand our business and develop solutions that were appropriate for our corporation. Many of the solutions remain in existence today and continue to deliver cost savings to us."
"In each case, we saw significant improvements in our operating cost structure as a direct result of Stonebridge's recommendations. In our business, every dollar saved translates into multiple dollars of equity value created, so we are happy to have this relationship with Stonebridge as we look to create equity value in our portfolio companies."
"We have found Stonebridge's approach to strategic sourcing consulting very fair and beneficial. Stonebridge has taken the time and energy to understand each category and develop solutions that are tailored to our business operations.
