PIR does not only give advise, PIR also executes and delivers the expected results!
Given companies’ increased attention for reducing internal operational costs and increasing cost control, the procurement function has a major role in the analysis and management of corporate spend. Only the analysis of spend data and the understanding of spending patterns will allow procurement function to: maximize buying leverage, form sourcing and contracting strategies, and drive improvements in contract compliance.
PIR’s own experience shows that few companies are categorizing their spend on a level that allows for any strategic sourcing decisions to be set. Also, the lack of implemented spend analysis and category management procedures have in many cases led to a supplier base which has grown uncontrolled.
PIR’s Procurement Performance Excellence services helps companies reach their cost savings targets by the creation of category strategies, optimization of the supplier base, contracting, contract and supplier management that all forms the basis for best in class annual cost savings.
PIR’s hands-on worldwide experience from best practice procurement processes has delivered considerable savings for our clients. PIR typically achieves savings of 10% to 40% in assignments related to supplier base optimization, contracting and contract management.
