Cost Optimisation India.
Know exactly where you stand.
Across-the-board cost cutting damages the business as often as it helps. This assessment finds specific, targeted cost reduction opportunities — the ones that don't come at the expense of quality, capacity, or the things actually driving growth.

This assessment evaluates cost structure across three categories: COGS (cost of goods/services sold — material, direct labour, and production cost efficiency), SG&A (sales, general, and administrative overhead — where spend has grown without a corresponding increase in output or value), and procurement effectiveness (whether vendor terms, contract renewals, and purchasing practices are actively managed or left on autopilot).
Cost creep happens gradually and rarely gets revisited — a vendor contract renews at a slightly higher rate each year without renegotiation, a headcount addition that made sense at the time never gets reassessed against current need, and overhead spend accumulates in small increments that never individually trigger a review, until the cumulative effect is a meaningfully bloated cost base.
Scored across 5 critical dimensions.
COGS efficiency — material, direct labour, and production cost relative to sector benchmarks
SG&A discipline — overhead growth relative to output/value growth
Procurement effectiveness — vendor terms and contracts actively managed vs. left on autopilot
Cost-to-serve variation — whether cost efficiency varies meaningfully by customer or product
Zero-based reasoning — whether cost lines are periodically justified from scratch, not just carried forward
Three outcome ranges — each with a clear next action.
75–100
Lean cost structure
Cost discipline is strong. IBEAN's advisory focuses on maintaining discipline through growth.
45–74
Specific savings identified
Targeted cost reduction opportunities found without quality or capacity trade-offs. IBEAN prioritises implementation.
0–44
Significant cost creep
Material, unmanaged cost growth across COGS or SG&A. IBEAN's Virtual CFO advisory builds the structured cost reduction plan.
Diagnosis first. Then a scoped advisory plan.
IBEAN's Cost Optimisation Assessment identifies specific, targeted savings opportunities — not blanket cuts — so cost reduction doesn't come at the expense of quality, capacity, or growth investment.
