One person.
Named.
Accountable.
Viking is one experienced operator with access to a very large market — not a franchise territory, and not a call centre.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Nobody senior owns your vendor decisions.
Companies below a few hundred people don't have a procurement function, because one doesn't pay for itself yet. So the phone system gets chosen by whoever answered the sales call, the merchant account came bundled with the bank, and the insurance renews because renewing is easier than rebidding.
None of that is negligence. It's just what happens when six specialist markets meet a team with no time to learn any of them. Viking exists to be the person whose job that is — with the market access to make it worth doing.
HOW WE GET PAID
We are paid the same amount no matter which provider you choose.
Which means we have no financial reason to prefer one over another. Our recommendation is the one the numbers support, because there is nothing else in it for us. You don't have to take that on trust — it's arithmetic.
Providers compensate us from their own margin when you place business with them. It is not added to your rate, and your pricing through us is the same as going direct. You are never invoiced by Viking, at any stage, including the initial review.
OUR RULES
How we keep ourselves honest.
You never pay us. Ever.
No retainer, no audit fee, no share of your savings.
No volume bonuses.
No provider pays us extra for steering business their way, and we hold no exclusive agreements.
“Stay where you are” is a real answer.
Some categories come back priced correctly. We say so, in writing.
The bidding is visible to you.
You see what every provider quoted, not just the one we recommend.
Twenty minutes, and you'll know where you stand.
Tell us which systems you want reviewed. If nothing is worth changing, we'll say so.
