Your challenges Driving value from your supply chain and procurement processes is increasingly challenging. Identifying areas that offer real cost savings and reduce operating expenses provides the opportunity to reshape your organisation. Likewise, simplified processes and increased capability in procurement can free up your resources to focus on creating and maintaining competitive advantage. Making the difference Our services are focussed on supporting the development of efficient and sustainable supply chains. We will implement effective strategies, optimise supplier bases and help establish supplier relationships that drive results and improve performance. Our procurement health check provides a complete view of your current procurement organisation, processes, spend patterns and performance in comparison with best practice measurements and world class approaches. Using the results of the health check we will provide you with a set of practical improvement recommendations for any areas that are not performing effectively. We will help you achieve sustainable improvements in performance. One key route to achieving greater effectiveness is to use a third party to undertake your noncore functions and services through outsourcing. Outsourcing can save you money, improve flexibility and help manage growth effectively. It also offers access to technical expertise, knowledge and technology of an organisation that specialises in your non-core activities. We can work with you to consider whether outsourcing is right for you and facilitate a smooth transition to outsourced suppliers.
