New demands dictate the need for a different approach to procurement

The changing nature of global competition, combined with greater expectation for tangible value to the end customer, is resulting in a more complex supply chain and dictates the need for a different approach to procurement. These market drivers create both an opportunity and a threat to organizations' competitiveness, and procurement is at the heart of it.

Clients Speak

A strong spend management program that leverages the right approach can have a tremendous impact on working capital, cost control and reduction, and the bottom line. There are few comparable programs with the same impact. Enabling a quick start and having the safety net of a guarantee makes such a program all the more attractive.

John Sinatra,Chief Financial Officer, Veronis Suhler Stevenson

We brought Maine Pointe in for a Strategic Procurement Initiative that involved helping us review our key food and beverage categories, and to identify cost savings opportunities along with a sustainable procurement process. They delivered nine training modules from ‘Supplier Conditioning’ all the way through ‘Implementing Supplier Agreements’ along with ‘Improving and Building Supplier Relationships’. These modules will help us to monitor current and future market conditions, to maintain quality and consistency, and improve the food costs throughout our restaurant system.

Paul Murphy, President and CEO, Del Taco

I would like to commend you for doing an outstanding job on our recent engagement to implement a Management Operating System and fast track a strategic procurement initiative to drive operational improvement in our business. The objectives were to drive double digit percentage improvement in our EBITDA by achieving 10% savings in our manufacturing costs and more than 5% savings on our raw material spend. I am pleased to say we met those objectives on time and within budget. Maine Pointe’s Total Value Optimization (TVO) and procedural approach, coupled with an accelerated schedule, were the key reasons behind our decision to move ahead with the engagement.”

Devlin Riley, President, Borchers
