We have a wide range of benchmarking/diagnostics tools and processes, and a deep database of benchmark data, to enable improved performance based upon a true understanding of gaps to world class.

Benchmarking

Our extensive experience in a wide variety of sectors has enabled us to develop a set of benchmarks that not only effectively measure the performance of procurement teams, but also to pinpoint where improvement opportunities exist, and to assess their benefit to the client. Our benchmarking covers everything from simple Price Benchmarking through to methodologies, performance and processes.

Supply planning

The development of a systematic and Category driven segmented approach to gaining the best from Supply Chain and the relationships within them. Decisions around where and how to focus limited procurement resource for maximum effect, and where and how to develop long term partner style relationships versus more tactical and price driven ones are critical to success.

Procurement Strategic Review

A comprehensive review of the performance of procurement activity within a client, the identification of gaps to world class, and the systematic development of a measurable future strategy with defined financial goals over time. The Review is carried out in a highly collaborative manner with our client to ensure that future strategy is both well understood and “bought into” by the Procurement Team and all of its Key Stakeholders. The Procurement Strategic Review is our signature product, and one of which we believe we are justifiably proud.
