Nemelu

Nemelu finds profit hiding in your purchasing.

We look at what you buy and what you pay for it. Then we check who's selling it to you, and help you fix what turns up.

Who this is for

Established commercial contractors around Oklahoma City.

Mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and the trades next to them. Companies big enough to run several crews and buy serious material, where nobody's actual job title says purchasing.

If you're spending a few million a year on material through a process that grew up on its own, that's the situation this looks at.

The problem

It usually sounds like one of these.

That's what happens when a business grows faster than its back office. Everyone's busy. Purchasing runs on habit because nobody was ever assigned to run it on anything else.

What we look at

You get a short list of specific dollar opportunities, ranked. One page. Then we help you put the worthwhile ones in place.

Who you'd be working with

Nemelu was started by Marco Patino, a Supply Chain Management student at the University of Oklahoma. It operates in the Norman and Oklahoma City area.

Nemelu is new and has no past clients to point at. You shouldn't take anybody's word for what they'd find in your numbers anyway. That's why the first look costs nothing. Either the work turns up something worth your time or it doesn't, and you'll know inside a week.

None of this asks you to drop suppliers you trust. Those relationships took years to build and they're worth money.
