Improved purchase discipline

Sourcing the best supplier and negotiating the best deal is only useful if the purchase plan is actually followed by the site execution team

​

There can be many reasons why the site is not able to use the most optimal source defined in the purchase plan - ranging from the fact that the supplier cannot deliver on time, to how realistic the order delivery call-off lead-time actually needs to be.

​

We analyse procurement data, site data and finance data in depth, and our smart technology tools can identify inconsistencies which may not be evident in each of the organisation's separate control functions, to identify cost saving opportunity potential.

 

This is often an area of huge friction - between the project site and the supplier, and oftentimes also between the site execution team, the procurement team and finance.

 

Our digital tools capture what actually happens in real time, so that the system itself can learn, enabling the procurement team and execution teams to discuss issues using objective data, and agree how to move forward.
