1. Spend & Market Analysis

We begin by dissecting your spend data and mapping supply-markets to uncover hidden cost-saving opportunities, category risks, and supplier concentration vulnerabilities. This phase sets a fact-based foundation.
What we deliver: spend-profile dashboards, supply-market heatmaps, opportunity landscape, initial sourcing roadmap.

2. Category Strategy & Supplier Segmentation

Next, we develop tailored category strategies — differentiating strategic vs. transactional categories — and segmenting your suppliers based on criticality, risk, innovation potential, and value creation.
What we deliver: category strategy documents, supplier segmentation matrix, sourcing approach for each segment (e.g., strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, strategic partnerships).

3. Sourcing Strategy & Supplier Engagement

We design and execute sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ) geared for optimal outcomes — factoring total cost of ownership (TCO), supplier innovation, service levels, and risk mitigation. We invite supplier collaboration rather than just competition.
What we deliver: sourcing plans, evaluation criteria, proposal templates, supplier shortlists, negotiation strategy.

4. Contracting & Supplier Onboarding

With the preferred suppliers selected, we support contract negotiations (terms, KPIs, SLAs, governance) and ensure smooth onboarding — aligning suppliers with your business metrics and supply-chain objectives.
What we deliver: master service agreements, key performance indicators (KPIs)/SLA frameworks, supplier onboarding checklist, implementation timeline.

5. Supplier Relationship Management & Performance Monitoring

Our role doesn’t end with contracts. We establish a governance model and performance framework to manage and monitor suppliers continuously — driving value, innovation, and risk mitigation over the long term.
What we deliver: supplier scorecards, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), performance dashboards, improvement plans.

6. Continuous Improvement & Value Realization

Finally, we help embed practices for ongoing improvement — ensuring sourcing savings become sustainable, and your supply-chain evolves with changing market dynamics and business goals.
What we deliver: savings tracking reports, cost-avoidance monitoring, market-trend alerts, strategic refresh roadmap.
