MASAI supports executive management, finance, procurement and industrial teams in optimizing their economic performance: procurement performance, performance plans, benchmarking of cross-functional and IT costs, design to cost. An approach powered by our proprietary benchmark databases and feedback from 5,000+ engagements.
01
Pressure on margins and the need for rapid financial results: it becomes necessary to activate high-impact savings levers that can be implemented quickly.
02
Traditional optimization levers are running out: without an external reference (sector benchmarks), it is difficult to identify new opportunities and prioritize actions.
03
Cross-functional costs (IT, insurance, energy, real estate, mobility, facility management) often rise faster than revenue and call for a category-by-category reset.
04
Product competitiveness is determined at the design stage: integrating cost constraints upstream (Design to Cost / Invest to Cost) avoids serial overruns and secures margins.
05
Embedding a culture of sustainable performance requires quantified action plans, clearly identified owners, and rigorous tracking of gains through to the income statement.
MASAI leverages proprietary benchmark databases built over more than 5,000 projects and updated each year, covering cross-functional costs (IT, HR, Finance, Logistics), main purchasing categories, and industrial costs — across scopes ranging from mid-sized companies to large international groups.
MASAÏ mobilizes four complementary levers: Procurement Performance (category optimization: insurance, energy, real estate, mobility, facility management…), Performance Plans (diagnosis followed by capture of OPEX and CAPEX gains), IT & cross-functional cost benchmarking (positioning vs. the market and identification of optimization potential) and Design to Cost (cost reduction from the product design stage).
He maps out savings opportunities, builds a quantified action plan with identified owners, then supports implementation until the gains are realized. At MASAÏ, our consultants combine category expertise, sector benchmarking, and on-the-ground presence to secure results.
