Your Partner in driving Procurement & Supply Chain Excellence

What We Do?

Help drive higher Profitability through global best practices in Procurement & Supply Chain.

In a world with shorter product cycles, growing global competition and an increased risk of supply chain disruption, coupled with ever increasing external supplier spend, companies must use Strategic Sourcing to create sustainable competitive advantage. We partner with our clients to create and advance their strategic sourcing excellence.

Contract Management

To assess and minimize risks related to the external spend, an organization must look holistically at the contract management life cycle – from negotiation & sign-off to contract execution and exit.

Procure to Pay (P2P) Transformation

Procure to pay (P2P) is the end-to-end process that covers all the steps from initiation of the requirements by a user to the payment to the supplier. Of course, the process on-paper looks easy but each step in the process could be problematic and painstaking for your end-users – for example, a manual requisition process or a long approval chain or a delayed supplier payment.

Supplier Performance Management

Supply chain leaders have a fundamental responsibility to continually monitor and improve the performance of their supply base. There can be no doubt that the quality of the entire supply chain is directly affected by supplier performance. Good suppliers enable an organization to achieve business objectives through – timely deliveries, price reductions, and product & service quality.

Supply Chain Diagnostics & Opportunity Assessment

High-performing supply chains yield several beneficial outcomes – high customer satisfaction, ability to adjust quickly to external events, a high return on capital for supply chain assets employed and consistent productivity improvements that enable reinvestment back into the business.

Supply Chain Risk Management

Modern supply chains are increasingly interdependent. While globalization, extended supply chains, and supplier consolidation offer many benefits, they can also make supply chains more complex, fragile, and susceptible to disruptions.

Sales & Operations Planning

Many organizations routinely struggle to meet customer expected lead times due to lack of visibility into demand, high SKU count, and a challenging supply chain with long lead times. This often results in lost sales due unacceptable service levels and high inventory levels to support sales.S&OP process aligns an organization across all relevant cross functions to optimize operational capacity by balancing demand and supply.When done well, it allows a business to capture

Inventory Optimization

While inventory is classified as an asset, many organizations fail to manage inventory optimally as they would manage other asset. Inventory optimization is not an isolated or static activity. It requires an integrated approach with other supply chain activities to effectively respond to factors such as changing demand patterns.

Logistics & Warehousing

The pandemic, trade wars, and severe storms: these are just a few of the disruptions recently churning markets. We can see the impact of these disruption on entire supply chain. Especially, the logistics sector is the one got hit severely and now undergoing fast paced transformation.

Data Diagnostics

A healthy supply chain is synonymous with healthy data, and many of the process improvement initiatives begin with the data itself. Right from sourcing of goods & services to inventory management, and logistics, quality of data & analytics is immensely critical to value creation – be it cost reduction or risk mitigation.

Data Cleansing, Enrichment, Taxonomy & Governance

Clean and accurate data is a must for insightful data analysis. Data cleansing and enrichment is critical step in the overall data quality enhancement process. The process involves consolidating data from different systems, identifying relevant data, and cleansing & enriching it to create a master database.

Data Classification & Categorization

Data Classification is all about categorizing and organizing data for better analysis and decision making. A well-classified data can dramatically improve analytics enabling insights and improvement opportunities such as cost reduction etc.

Spend Analysis

In today’s world of faster product cycles, growing global competition and increased risk of supply chain disruption, companies need to know how to use strategic sourcing as a competitive advantage. Global sourcing or external spend can account for a large portion of the overall costs in many industries.

Functional Training & Coaching

Excellence in Procurement & Supply Chain Management requires continual investment in talent development. Without sustained efforts in building “Capacity & Capability” that are aligned with ever changing business world, an organization will be handicapped in creating long term value.

Training Content Design & Development

While we find several online & offline courses on procurement & supply chain management that are readily available, there always exists a gap in assimilation of such content vis-à-vis practical industry experiences. Hence, it is critical to design the right content that is customized to a specific organization’s needs and working environment, thereby improving overall learning and the training ROI.

MRO Diagnostics

MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) spend management can be a daunting task for many organizations due to its fragmented and complex nature with very large number of SKUs across multiple sub-categories, most of these items being critical to a company’s operational performance.

MRO Spend Optimization

Working Capital Diagnostics

Every business needs cash to fund everything, from running operations to exploring avenues of growing the business. Having visibility into overall working capital performance can drive higher profitability.

Working Capital Optimization

Working capital optimization is needed to improve company’s daily operations – reduce cost of borrowing, free up cash for investment, and reduce operational bottlenecks caused by the need to meet current liabilities.

Sustainability (ESG)

ESG, or Environmental, Social, and Governance, refers to the three key factors used to measure the sustainability impact of an organization. These three parameters individually along with the overall framework, holistically show how an organization impacts and gets impacted by the outside world. ESG has now started to become a mandate globally for the companies to do sustainable business.

Sustainable Procurement

Sustainable procurement or supply chain involves integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into the procurement process, ensuring that procurement decisions not only meet organizational needs but also contribute to positive social and environmental outcomes.
