Contract and vendor performance

You know how you have fixed rates with your vendors, but no mechanism that actually checks what you're invoiced against them.

The rate card was negotiated hard, then filed. Nobody compares it to the invoices line by line.

Variances get spotted by accident, usually by someone who was looking for something else.

Checking it properly has never won against delivery work, and it never will.

What we do

We build the checking and reporting: contracted rate against invoiced rate, line by line, with a monthly report of discrepancies and savings — and we carry the work, not your team.

Line-level reconciliation

Contracted rate, invoiced rate, variance — per line, not per invoice. Summary-level checking hides exactly what you're looking for.

Evidence attached to every finding

Each variance references the contract clause, the rate card version and the invoice line, so it's recoverable rather than arguable.

A monthly report, not an accusation

Findings go to the vendor as evidence on a cadence. Good vendors welcome it, because it ends the argument.

A control you keep

The check is documented and handed over, so it becomes a standing control rather than a one-off recovery.

What changes

So that you get what you agreed to pay for, and MCMS carries the vendor-management heavy lifting instead of your delivery team.

Other jobs we take on

Multi-site delivery

You know how a rollout that works on one site starts falling apart at forty, and nobody can tell you which site is actually behind.

Independent review

You know how you're asked to sign off a project record you didn't build and can't fully verify.

Data

You know how you collect data in multiple places and multiple documents, so nobody can give leadership a straight answer.
