Identify

Rapidly quantify your value creation potential across CapEx, OpEx, and working capital, prioritizing opportunity into a deliverable plan.

Our experience across more than 100 Opportunity Assessments a year establishes a robust plan, built on the potential, your current position, and the key success factors to establish Procurement. Procurement value delivery plans are management-friendly, unlocking strategic change without significant people or customer impacts.

Due Diligence during M&A and carve-outs is a growing priority, both to quantify value creation potential and size critical supply chain risks. We support companies throughout pre-closing clean room assessments, as well as preparation for and execution of contract separations and PMIs.

Deliver

Make the plan a reality with hands-on expert support from strategy to implementation.

Deliver the identified savings by revamping your operating model, strategically sourcing priority spend categories, and boosting your procurement teams’ skills base.

Navigate strategic change across supply chain optimization, securing supply, establishing partners for growth, and accelerating value delivery.

Use our team to embed best practice, handle suppliers and negotiations, and accelerate value delivery throughout implementation. Minimize investment from adjacent functions by leveraging our content and expertise, and pragmatic delivery approach.

Sustain

Sustaining a procurement transformation is challenging.

We transfer best practice knowledge to internal teams and provide continued support on spend, suppliers, and sourcing opportunities via access to a purpose-built technology platform – so procurement functions can continue delivering excellence.

Embedding key success factors in delivery sets up the team for success. For funds we partner with, we have seen ongoing outperformance of procurement from teams we support over a three-year horizon. 

Alternatively, our long-term partnership model sustains the results with ongoing Efficio support – from flexible strategic event support to full-scale sourcing as a service.
