ERA Group

Invisible Horizons Coaching and Consulting has partnered with the ERA Group to generate expense reduction for its clients.
A risk-free way to improve your bottom line.
Cost Management is a critical component of an organization's ability to stay profitable. For the last 30 years, ERA has consistently found that even when organizations are doing a good job with their cost management, they are still leaving 10-30% on the table in many cost areas.
The ERA Group provides specialized expertise, real-time industry benchmark data, and practical insider knowledge in more than 45 supplier industries. ERA analysts will assess your business for opportunities to increase cash flow and improve operational efficiency. And if they don’t find savings, there is no fee for their services.
Why continue to leak cash that can offset inflation, improve your bottom line, or be redeployed to higher-priority initiatives? Reach out today for your benchmark review from the experts at the ERA Group to ensure you are receiving market-best pricing.
