Sourcing is one of the areas that most directly affects profit. A sourcing initiative that reduces cost by about 10% may in some industries result in a doubling of profit. Capacent offers a wide range of services related to sourcing. Common for all services is that we combine thorough analysis with support for implementing actions and building skills and understanding in the organization. Only this way can we ensure the realization of sustainable and significant savings. Our staff has experience from line positions in strategic and operational sourcing as well as from supporting purchasing organizations in numerous consulting assignments.
Typical types of projects delivered:
Sourcing review
A thorough analysis of spend in various categories, designed to estimate potentials and assign priorities to possible actions. This is followed by targeted support for ensuring that potentials are realized and key skills are built in the organization. We offer this service to clients in both the public and private sectors, and it is based on our experience from working with strategic sourcing analyses for major corporations in Europe and one-third of all municipalities in Denmark.
Negotiation support
Capacent performs thorough analysis and segmentation of major suppliers, based on financial standing and relative dependence, in an effort to support negotiations and achieve improved pricing or payment terms. This type of analysis gives the responsible buyers a solid fact base to determine which suppliers to focus on, realistic negotiation targets, and a possible approach.
Procurement Performance Analysis
By applying a structured methodology and tailored KPIs for measuring and following up the efficiency of the purchasing organization, we help clients identify concrete improvement potentials in the way the purchasing organization works.
