Tail-spend consulting + Outsourced buying

Procurement that pays for itself.

Most companies watch their top twenty suppliers closely and let the other few hundred drift. We look hard at that long tail, show you what it really costs, and — if you want — take the buying off your hands.

  • First spend review at no charge
  • Fixed fee or share-of-savings
  • Works from SAP, Salesforce or Excel

Approach

Two ways to work with us.

Start with a diagnosis, hand over the buying, or do both. Each stands on its own.

We show you where the money goes.

  1. Tail-spend review

    We trace the hundreds of small, scattered purchases most finance teams never look at, and show where the money slips out.

  2. Spend cube & leakage report

    Your PO, invoice and card data cleaned, classified and turned into a one-page picture of who you pay and why.

  3. Policy & P2P design

    Approval limits, buying channels and SAP / Salesforce workflows that make the right purchase the easy one.

Process

What an engagement looks like.

  1. 1

    A short list of actions, ranked by rupees saved and effort needed. You pick what goes ahead.
