Maximize Cost Recovery: Mattern Knows How.

Technology has changed the way your firm does business. Has your cost recovery program kept up-to-pace?

Are you charging Clients for soft costs, or are you recovering your costs?

Mattern's Cost Recovery Analysis is a comprehensive audit that helps your firm increase billable revenue by closing cost recovery gaps. We assess your current cost recovery program and answer key questions:

What are your real needs? How much of your current costs are recoverable? Are your current chargeback systems supporting optimal capture of out-of-pocket expenses? How do your billable percentages and rates compare to industry averages?

Mattern observes and analyzes your cost recovery process from beginning to end. Using the Mattern Method®, we quantify your organization's entire print, scan, copy, fax, mail, phone, and other expenses, and current document management system and exception processing. Most importantly, our team assembles your unique data to identify new opportunities for cost recovery, based on your firm's needs, as well as industry benchmarks and best practices.

The result is a comprehensive assessment that offers sound advice for making appropriate modifications to increase your firm's billable revenue. You decide which opportunities to pursue, and Mattern can assist with full implementation of process enhancements , including the management of the RFP process for new cost recovery equipment.

From improving utilization of current technology and resources, to migrating to advanced systems and software, to developing smarter firm-wide monitoring systems, Mattern delivers customized solutions that yield results.

Mattern Plan B Cost Recovery™ - US Patent Pending


Mattern Plan B Cost Recovery™ - US Patent Pending - is a proprietary process that allows your firm to maximize your billable cost recovery revenue by increasing net realizations. This is done by restructuring  onsite support services as hard cost disbursements that, based on industry benchmarks, have a higher net realization.

Your firm is a candidate for Mattern Plan B™ if your support services operation is outsourced and faced with increasing internal and external write-offs that result in decreasing realization of  soft cost recoveries. Mattern Plan B™ takes your firm out of the cost recovery business, increases  recovery, and restores client's trust in your firm’s cost recovery model.

"We needed to execute three large procurement projects, which were each going to be cumbersome and time-consuming to undertake. We knew we could not do this alone. Mattern is knowledgeable about the operational and the legal cost recovery process. They have no alliance to any vendor and we knew we could trust them to get us exactly what we needed at the best possible price."
