How did one of Chile’s most prestigious sports organisations manage to improve its financial sustainability and achieve savings of up to 59%?

Club Deportivo Universidad Católica (CDUC) confronted a pivotal challenge: to ensure its long-term financial sustainability, optimising costs without compromising operational excellence across its more than 50 hectares of sports infrastructure.

Working closely with ERA Group, and retaining most of its existing suppliers, we focused on 5 spending categories, achieving significant savings:

Gardening: 12% savings. As Jaime Retamal, Managing Director of CDUC, rightly states: "The most effective way to achieve genuine savings is to comprehend the operational function of the activities we undertake. ERA has assisted us in better recognising our operations without impacting individuals, either in their professional capacity or their dignity. On the contrary, it enables their work to be more effective."

At ERA Group, our approach goes beyond cost reduction. We transfer capabilities to the client’s team so that the savings are sustainable in the long term.
