Vision & Vine helps mid-market manufacturers and CPG companies uncover hidden cost savings and bring structure back to operations after growth, acquisition, or change.

What I do

A faster path to real operational value.

Most organizations know there is value trapped in their supply chain but lack the time, structure, or leadership bandwidth to unlock it.

Through Vision & Vine, I specialize in operational value recovery across procurement, supplier management, and core supply chain processes. I bring discipline, visibility, and execution focus to environments that have grown complex through acquisition, expansion, or rapid change.

My work consistently delivers 5–10% direct material cost improvements while strengthening supplier performance and operational alignment.

60-Day Operational Value Recovery™

The 60-Day Operational Value Recovery™ is a focused engagement designed to quickly identify and prioritize cost savings and operational improvements within your supply chain.

This is not a high-level assessment. It is a hands-on, outcomes-driven review that produces a clear, actionable roadmap tied directly to financial impact.

What’s Included
  • Spend and sourcing review across organization
  • Supplier and contract opportunity assessment
  • Identification of cost recovery and negotiation opportunities
  • Operational process gap analysis (planning, governance, execution)
  • Prioritized roadmap tied to value, effort, and timing
Outcomes
  • Stronger alignment between operations, procurement, and finance
  • Clear visibility to 5–10% savings potential
  • Defined execution plan leadership can act on immediately

How It Works

A structured approach that delivers results.

Step 1: Recover

Diagnose where value is trapped

I assess sourcing, supplier performance, spend, and operational processes to uncover cost, risk, and efficiency opportunities.

Step 2: Realize

Execute targeted improvement

For organizations ready to move, Vision & Vine leads sourcing initiatives, supplier negotiations, and operational changes to convert opportunity into realized savings.

Step 3: Sustain

Embed structure and governance

We help teams implement the metrics, cadence, and leadership structure required to sustain results long after initial recovery.

ABOUT

Enterprise discipline meets operational execution.

Vision & Vine brings a unique blend of operational execution and enterprise governance. It was built on a foundation of enterprise-level rigor and real-world execution.
Founder Sara Plouffe’s background spans financial services, manufacturing, and CPG, where she led enterprise-critical vendor management, large-scale/multi-million-dollar cost reduction initiatives, and post-acquisition integrations.
This foundation brings a level of rigor, controls, and financial alignment rarely found in traditional supply chain consulting, ensuring savings are not only identified, but realized and sustained.
