We provide
support services on-demand to you. These help improve
the effectiveness of your procurement staff by
•
releasing them from
low value tasks or
•
providing information which helps your
staff make better decisions
Pricing benchmarking.
•
For categories where
you need to track pricing in order to ensure you
receive best value, we will periodically collect
market pricing and provide it to you.
Spend categorisation
•
Spend data from multiple
systems is categorised according to UNSPSC coding.
We help you understand who is buying what and
with which suppliers and develop suitable sourcing
strategies. We are very keen to deliver results
and guarantee identified savings will be many
times costs. In most cases we deliver savings
within 3 months which exceed costs.
Supply market research.
•
We conduct custom research
to your brief. This is a critical input into sourcing
strategies as fundamental changes in supply market
structure become more frequent. e.g. printers
and faxes become “all-in-one” machines.
We do this 100’s of times a year for some
of the largest corporations globally – we
are efficient, accurate and cost-effective.
Flexible resource
•
Procurement’s
workload goes through peaks and troughs. To deal
with the peaks, we will put in an experienced
procurement professional for a month or 6 months
on a part-time basis to help your department succeed
through periods of peak load.
