Early Bird gets the worm
Early Action Is a Competitive Advantage
2026 is already shaping which Irish and UK businesses will protect profit and grow margins. Costs haven’t gone back down — they’ve just reset. Energy, labour, transport, fuel, raw ingredients, compliance, waste, SaaS and other indirect spend are now part of the new normal.
Supply chains are still fragile, cash is tighter, and inefficiencies that were hidden before are now clear. Waiting too long means reacting instead of controlling outcomes.
Where Businesses Can Save Money
At Profit-Pot, we help businesses find savings and take control early. Some examples from 2025:
Energy & Utilities: renegotiating contracts saved one FMCG client 12%.
Transport & Logistics: route optimisation and carrier benchmarking saved a food distribution client €45,000.
SaaS & Subscriptions: auditing unused software recovered 10–15% of indirect spend.
Waste & Packaging: small process tweaks and supplier renegotiation improved margins 8%.
Raw Ingredients: benchmarking and multi-supplier contracts saved 7%.
These aren’t one-off savings — they build profit, cash flow, and resilience.
How Profit-Pot Helps You Stay Ahead
We focus on practical, easy steps:
Tighten and renegotiate supplier contracts
Challenge costs and rates with real benchmarks
Cut unnecessary surcharges and hidden fees
Secure supply without overspending
Take cost out without hurting capability or service
Acting early locks in margin and makes sure you’re ahead of the curve.
Take Control Now
The businesses that wait, get left behind. Dont give away free money, stop firefighting supply issues, and scrambling for cash. The ones who act early, compound savings, reduce risk, and stay in control. In short: early action really does get the worm.
