Services
I do not sell hours of advice. I take a defined piece of your procurement, run it, and report on it. Below is what that covers and the four ways to buy it.
Scope
Engagement structures
No hourly meter, no surprise invoices. The fee is agreed in writing before work starts, and the scope that goes with it is written down in the same document.
A paid 30 day test on one category. Built for the company that likes the idea but does not want to sign a retainer with someone they have not worked with. You get finished output, not a discovery phase.
A defined body of work with a start, a finish, and a deliverable. Resourcing a product line, running a competitive RFQ, consolidating a fragmented supplier base, or rebuilding a purchasing process.
Ongoing procurement capability on a monthly retainer. I carry the sourcing, negotiation, and supplier management load while your team keeps transactional purchasing in house.
The full function. I act as your procurement manager, own the supplier base and the spend, and report to you the way an employee would, without the salary, benefits, and payroll tax load.
Fees are quoted after a short discovery call, once the category, the spend, and the workload are clear. Every quote is fixed for the term of the engagement.
How it starts
Manufacturing, industrial distribution, metals and hardware, electrical and electronic components, packaging, construction materials, textiles and apparel, outdoor and consumer products, MRO, and specialized equipment.
Categories run from raw materials and components through finished goods, in 21 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Next step
Tell me the category and the annual spend behind it. I will tell you whether it is worth working on and what it would cost.
