“We have worked with Montblanc on several projects associated with supply management, with very good results and a proven return on investment. His work is professional, developed applied in the field and his commitment to achieving results is remarkable. In a Large Service Contract Optimization project, Montblanc applied its cost estimation methodology and showed us that a particular Service provider was 70% more expensive than market value. We met with the supplier to renegotiate and adjust the contract based on the analysis made and he indicated that these calculations were not correct and that he would not renegotiate. We then decided to put out to tender the contract and closed at a value equivalent to what Montblanc had anticipated. Once again they showed us their ability and professionalism with concrete and measurable results. “
