Coleman | Hines’ direct experience in energy procurement coupled with direct knowledge in national multi-site environments differentiates us from our competitors. Our staff is comprised of former restaurant and retail energy managers, supplier and utility company employees. We’ve earned a reputation as "trusted advisors" through the effective management of energy procurement and consulting services for multi-site corporations across North America. This can be felt throughout the processes and procedures we have implemented. This status and our level of client care can be communicated best by our clients, and we encourage you to call our references. Energy procurement is our core competency. We consider ourselves an extension of your energy team. Having “walked a mile in your shoes”, we understand the importance of margin protection and budget certainty. We understand the need to communicate to senior management the value of your energy program; and demonstrate why a strategic approach to energy is important to your organization. Our tools, reports, documentation and procedures have been designed to support your energy management program and to “Make Your Energy Life Easier.” Our clients turn to us for help in areas beyond the day-to-day energy management functions. Our understanding of their operations and business objectives coupled with our experience in building and managing energy teams inspires confidence in our ability to deliver on their behalf. As an extension of their teams, we often provide support in creating internal and external energy communications for stakeholders, creating and delivering presentations, attending conferences and other tasks typically completed by internal team members. We manage our relationships based upon individual client needs which allows for flexibility and customization. Our procurement strategy combines a client portfolio approach with individual market objectives to ensure our clients meet their overall goals. We “pre-position” our clients in targeted markets well before a deal is executed, enabling them to take advantage of any variability in the market. Coleman | Hines has developed robust proprietary tools and processes which incorporate strategic acquisition planning, regional expertise, market intelligence, business contractual support, analysis and implementation. Our proven methodologies are evident in the success of our clients’ programs. |
