This PortCo had no understanding of spend and no idea where to look for answers. We ingested 12 months’ worth of raw data—5.8 million purchase transactions from 38 key suppliers—and found a way forward. In three weeks—not three months—we took out costs, boosted the bottom line, and spurred value creation.

An example of fragmentation at its worst. We consolidated the PortCo’s parts and materials network from 300+ partners to two—creating stronger strategic partnerships, enhancing coverage, standardizing prices, and maximizing discounts.

JAI helped this PortCo grow from a complete lack of standardized buying to a $7M EBITDA uplift.

JAI found $3.5M in redundant licenses and unused/underutilized software, which was immediately freed up for reallocation.

Proactive expiration tracking isn’t just admin hygiene—it’s patient protection. By tightly managing medications, vaccines, and clinical consumables, we reduced the risk of administering expired products or cancelling procedures—while controlling waste, minimizing rush charges for replacements, and reducing costly downtime.

By consolidating fragmented fuel spend across a 2,000-vehicle fleet into a focused network of preferred merchants, we unlocked meaningful volume leverage at the pump. We also created standardized programs, tighter controls, and data-driven routing, all of which translated to better discounts and fewer leaks. The result: $400K removed from annual run-rate fuel cost—and a clear, workable platform for future savings.

Over time, operations teams fell into a pattern of “overbuilding” rather than ordering upfits to align with field requirements. Our analysis revealed excessive design and materials specifications, and testing of our proposed “right-sized” vehicles proved successful. Ultimately, by addressing the problem at the operations level, we saved the PortCo 36% in unnecessary upfit costs—and provided a template for future ordering.

A lack of strategic, standardized purchasing led to misalignment across a fleet of 4,000 vehicles—with heavy-duty vehicles driven on light-duty routes, big vans used for small jobs, and underutilized assets sitting idle. JAI successfully rightsized the fleet— eliminating mismatched and improperly fitted vehicles, and standardizing the optimal mix for each job. The result: an 18% decrease in Total Cost of Ownership, improved reliability, and optimized utilization.

We don’t think in silos. We optimize the balance sheet to reduce run-rate costs and increase EBITDA. By marginally increasing acquisition costs to accommodate fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles, we cut fuel spend by 37.5%—and set a path toward $5.6M in savings.

Stop paying a toll to pay your tolls. We rebuilt this PortCo’s payment process—flipping a 15% markup into a 2% savings, and turning hidden fees into found money for their fleet P&L.
