By observing these factors and the cost implications they have on your business; Reducer are able to analyse and calculate how much you could be saving annually by making simple utility provider switches. By using Reducer businesses find they save on average £1,500 per year.
Reducer have made comparing your utility providers even easier by designing a mobile app. Reducers app integrates with your accounting software, analyses your spend data and compares prices from 100’s of suppliers to produce personalised cost-saving reports. These reports are shared with you before a member of their team gets in touch to talk you through your options. If you decide to take up the savings, they handle the switch.
The service Reducer provide is free to use, Reducer will receive a small fee from the supplier of utility if your business decides to switch.
