What is PROFIT FROM PROCUREMENT about?

PROFIT FROM PROCUREMENT: How to Add 30% to Your Bottom Line by Breaking Down Silos, a new book published by Wiley in April 2021, delivers an insightful, compelling, and fresh take on a subject that typically comprises 50% of a business’s total costs: Procurement! 

Efficio's Alex Klein – COO and Co-Founder, Simon Whatson – VP, and Jose Oliveira – VP highlight the limitations of the traditional, functionally siloed approach to Procurement and demonstrate how significant EBITDA gains can be made by lifting Procurement out of the back office and enabling it to fundamentally reset a company’s cost base. The authors deliver practical strategies and examples from their work with the world’s top organisations to help you unleash your company’s profit potential.
