Strategic Procurement Solutions - General Procurement, Global Sourcing, SRM, ERP & CRM convergence.


In short, we specialise in implementing 3 areas of procurement:
Global Sourcing
Where we create a complete supply chain for the client, enabling their business to benefit from the improved margins and profitability available globally.
Projects typically cover: • Supplier sourcing to client brief and specification, product sampling. • Physical vendor auditing in country of short listed suppliers, both for production, Quality, and capability assurance. • ISO9000, ISO 14000, and WTO Social and ethical standards. • Creation/development of logistics solutions. • Stock management & MI Reporting models.
General and Local Procurement
Where we provide strategic cost reduction to client spend areas, and deliver a supplier base whose goals are aligned with those of the client.
Projects typically include: • Collation and evaluation of spend data. • Creation and execution of tenders. • Supplier Relationship Management. • Establishment of supplier reporting.
Sales Support via Procurement
Where we fully integrate the benefits and “USP’s” delivered from the procurement project activity or in house purchasing team, with the company’s sales effort. Projects typically include: • Identification of key procurement benefits. • Understanding the client’s sales proposition. • Liaison with both sales and marketing teams. • Facilitating the integrated project.
Whilst we believe that reports are a vital part of planning and agreeing the project definitions and scope. They are just that, a means to an end. What sets us apart as a business, is that we actually implement. We do the job.
Our rationale is simple: 1. If the client has asked us to look at a project, this is usually because they don’t have the time, skills, or people to do it alone – So why would presenting a “how to” report solve their need? 2. The client is paying us for the project – therefore commercially, what is the return on their investment? This can only be measured by actually doing the work to complete the project brief agreed. 3. As an industry, we suffer from the old adages such as “Ask a consultant the time, and he will borrow your watch, tell you the time, and then sell you a better watch”!
We seek to be different, as procurement practioners it is incumbent upon us to work ethically, and professionally to enhance the image of our industry. And after all we are in business too, facing the same day to day challenges as our clients, and we like to be treated fairly and honestly by those who seek to supply us.
