Case-study
A Fortune-500 company wasn’t satisfied with the performance of their commercial card payments programme. During the assignment Accourt offered a workshop on economics of the card payments business, assessed current programme and benchmarked the contract terms and programme structure to the best practices.
By understanding the gaps to benchmark performance, areas for the programme improvement were determined with the best financial impact. Guidance on existing programme contract terms with the vendors was offered, as well as advice on negotiating and transforming relations with the vendors to enhance a strategic partnership.
