Case Studies

A leading Australian property investment management group, experiencing rapid growth in the face of changing market conditions, engaged Amplify to conduct an opportunity assessment across core spend categories to identify potential cost savings. Amplify cleansed and analysed over $400M of spend before conducting a review of benchmarking and market levers. The exercise identified 15 strategic initiatives and established a prioritised 24-month delivery roadmap to enable significant savings across key categories such as facilities management, development and utilities.

As part of a broader spend optimisation program for a major private healthcare provider, Amplify conducted a review of the wound closure category spend. The project identified value leakage caused by a multi-supplier model and moved to consolidate demand through a strategic primary and secondary provider structure. Amplify developed and executed a targeted tender for high-volume items, utilising scenario modelling to drive competitive tension during negotiations. By transitioning to a single primary supplier model, Amplify secured $400k in annualised savings.

As part of a broader spend optimisation program for a major private healthcare provider, Amplify conducted strategic negotiations with a multinational medical technology corporation, with a view to negotiating a commercial deal for the acquisition of two orthopaedic robots. The robots are designed to assist surgeons during orthopaedic surgeries. Amplify successfully negotiated a discount totalling savings of over $500k. The robots were also expected to deliver $2M incremental revenue for our client. Furthermore, with the acquisition of 2 new robots, our client reinforced its position as a leading hospital in surgical innovation.

As part of a broader spend optimisation program for a major private healthcare provider, Amplify conducted a review of the chemotherapy services contract, which was approaching expiry and required urgent market validation. Amplify executed a targeted tender process involving the incumbent and previously approved suppliers to drive competitive tension and transparency.

This strategic outcome delivered substantial financial benefits without incurring transition costs or operational disruption, ensuring the continued delivery of patient-critical services.

Following a capability assessment and category management training, Amplify continued to work with a leading Queensland-based public and private hospital to support their procurement team in developing category plans. Amplify developed a custom category strategy template. Coaching sessions were also conducted with the teams to aid them in completing their plans to a quality standard. The teams also had the opportunity to rehearse and receive feedback from presenting the plans in preparation for executive engagements. The category plans were completed within 8 weeks, with $5.9M-$6.9M in potential benefits identified.

A leading health provider in Queensland engaged Amplify to review their total spend profile, with a view to identifying savings opportunities across key categories of spend including, Prostheses, Medical Consumables, Indirects, Medical Equipment, Pharmacy, Clinical Services, ICT and Pathology. Amplify cleansed and analysed the raw spend data before conducting a review of benchmarking and market levers to identify savings opportunities. A focused forward procurement plan was complied with key initiatives prioritised by value and complexity. Amplify executed the identified opportunities and the program of work delivered savings in excess of $1.5M for our client.

Following on from an opportunity assessment, Australia and New Zealand's largest vet care network engaged Amplify to centralise and standardise fire services across its clinics. The category was previously fragmented across 100+ suppliers, limiting visibility and governance. Amplify worked closely with clinic stakeholders to execute a closed tender over 10-weeks. This strategic sourcing event consolidated the supply base into a single key partner, ensuring service consistency and robust compliance across the portfolio. The engagement successfully transitioned the group to a standardised service model that provides full visibility of all fire assets, guarantees high-quality safety standards, rigorous regulatory adherence, and optimal value for money.

Following an opportunity assessment for Australia and New Zealand's largest vet care network, Amplify identified significant fragmentation and price variance within its cremation services expenditure, of which a high proportion was uncontracted. To address this, Amplify developed and executed a strategic sourcing plan. The strategy incorporated consolidation of state-wide volumes to leverage scale and to generate competitive tension. Through scenario modelling and clinic-level collaboration, the project secured ~30% savings, and achieved consistent pricing, standardisation of service and increased spend under contract.

Following an opportunity assessment, Australia and New Zealand's largest vet care network engaged Amplify to lead a strategic sourcing project for their Travel Management Company (TMC) contract. Over an accelerated six-week period, Amplify developed comprehensive tender documentation and managed a competitive market engagement to evaluate financial and service-led offerings. The recommended partnership model enabled approximately 9% savings for our client. Amplify also supported the implementation of the new TMC, this included updating the travel policy, developing internal communications, and coordinating with key internal teams (such as IT and HR), to improve compliance and spend management.

Following an opportunity assessment for Australia and New Zealand's largest vet care network, Amplify identified duplication within advertising and marketing services between local online advertising efforts and central support office activities. To resolve this, Amplify developed a targeted communication strategy for General Managers and clinics, facilitating a seamless transition of responsibilities to the central team. This cost out initiative removed redundant expenditure and delivered savings through immediate practice change.

Australia and New Zealand's largest vet care network engaged Amplify to conduct a tender process for highly regulated Compound Pharmacy products.

Furthermore, the tender delivered strong outcomes in relation to service levels, ensuring safe formulations, and providing further value-added benefits such as education, specialist support, access to innovation and introduction of sustainable practices..

Amplify supported one of Australia's largest poultry produce companies to strengthen its modern slavery analysis and reporting and to reduce supply chain risk. Amplify leveraged third-party tools to cleanse and enrich supplier information and to assess supply risks across geographies and industries. The analysis improved visibility across the extended supply chain, identifying Tier 2 supply risks across multiple industries and regions. The project highlighted modern slavery risk exposure, established a single source of truth for supply chain information, and enabled a more proactive, data-driven approach to ongoing supply chain risk management.

Australia's largest poultry produce company engaged Amplify to resolve data integrity gaps in relation to execution and storage of contracts, and to reduce long approval timelines from contract draft stage to execution. Using an agile methodology, Amplify transitioned the client to a Contract Lifecycle Management software solution. The project involved documenting comprehensive business requirements to enhance visibility and process control, iterative software development and testing, tailored stakeholder training, and the implementation of a new governance framework. This transformation reduced contract generation by 30 days and approval times by 90 days. The result is a fully digital, traceable process that mitigates legal risk, incorporates dynamic workflows, contract generation, and ensures the accurate execution of contracts across our client's business operations.
