Shared Management Services

Our shared management service allows your staff to concentrate on value adding tasks.

By offloading invoicing, contract negotiation and renewals you will have more time to concentrate on revenue generating elements within your business. We take on and optimise these administrative elements so you can concentrate on the things you are best at.

Vendor Relationship Management

Our vendor relationship management service enables your company to proactively manage costs, reduce risks, and improve overall service levels.

Whether your relationships with your vendors are rolling monthly contracts or multi-year arrangements, active management and attention to the evolving business environment will drive best value for your business and reduce friction in vendor relationships. If you’re planning to develop a vendor relationship management process or already have one in place that just needs some fine-tuning, we can support you by offering flawless execution or transition to a more effective strategy.

If you are looking to minimise risk, reduce costs and improve supply agility we can help by matching your needs with the appropriate vendor and taking care of the relationship throughout.

Streamlined Purchasing Process

We rationalise your purchasing process so you have the right items in the right place at the right time.

Many legacy purchasing processes have developed in an ad-hoc manner as a business has evolved. This often leaves a non-uniform set of vendors and terms which can cause uncertainty within your organisation, which in turn can lead to supply shortages, over-spending and waste.

If you find yourself suffering from logistical delays, looking at a warehouse full of stock tying up working capital or have unclear roles and responsibilities for purchasing in your organisation we can help. We will help you identify the key items to keep your business running and then manage as one service, one point of contact and one invoice.

Sourcing

We consider the strategic sourcing process as a cycle. By reviewing the market of available suppliers regularly we ensure the right supplier is engaged to meet your changing requirements.

 

We follow a 3 step process:

  1. Understanding your requirements. We review your historical and projected requirements to identify the range of suppliers we need to engage with. Attention is paid to consumption rates, unit value and supplier leadtimes. Your sourcing requirements are also prioritised – material quality, leadtime, cost, ethical sourcing – so we can align with your principles and critical product characteristics.
  2. We analyse the supplier market to identify the best service and value for money possible. Taking account of supply chain length, haulage costs, delivery and order leadtimes to service multiple geographical locations we engage with the supplier(s) best positioned to service your needs.
  3. If a change in supplier is recommended from the analysis we will arrange for existing details to be transferred from the incumbent supplier to the new supplier. We will ensure no service interruption by running parallel sourcing for the handover period.

Consignment Model

We are specialists in freeing up cash on your balance sheet.

We will negotiate consignment stock models with any number of your existing suppliers in partnership with you or independently on your behalf.

The process:

  • You hold stock at all times so no outages or supply interruption.
  • You give us regular inventory updates so we can identify optimum stock levels and replenishment leadtimes.
  • We place orders with your suppliers in accordance with your requirements, only at this point are invoices generated.
