“ One of our clients , a leading global CPG company , increased its commercial performance and contribution to its firm ’ s bottom line by a whopping 14 % in the first year after adopting a best-in-class CMS program . Top-quartile procurement functions consistently excel over their peers on all key measures of savings , compliance , innovation and risk management ”.
We recently helped a global energy company improve its process of negotiating contracts across 50 + countries , gaining benefits worth US $ 250M over two years . These were mainly driven by three key factors – the speed of contract negotiation ( almost half of the redlining and negotiations were automated ); the terms that are secured ( benchmarking and other tools allowed for much better commercial terms ); and compliance with agreed terms ( advanced capabilities to measure daily operational performance against set terms and manage exceptions effectively ).
