Companies buy lots of goods and services to be in business

Typically, they focus their resources on buying the things they ultimately sell to their customers.

They tend to focus less on buying well in other areas—the things that enable them to sell, better known as indirect goods and services. Things like:

Yet purchases in these areas — the things that enable you to sell — can represent up to 20% or more of total revenue for a business. That’s why there are substantial profit improvements to be had.

You need five things to buy well.

You need people.

Capable, experienced, accountable people for both fixed and variable work-loads

You need process.

Clarity and order in all aspects of how work gets done

You need technology.

Transparency, speed and governance from concept to purchase

You need a supplier ecosystem.

A network that delivers against your business requirements now and in the future

You need leverage.

Volume and frequency to command best-in-market pricing

How does your organization stack up?

Our experience is that most companies have some of these, but none have all five.

How it works

Our buying utility provides resources and technology that would be cost-prohibitive for you to build on your own. We don't just identify - we do the critical work and deliver day-in and day-out.

1We bring technology.

Built specifically for Procurement users by our teams of expert practitioners, our OneMarket Platform brings together a range of technology modules that cover the entire Source-to-Pay lifecycle, enabled with the critical market intelligence and benchmark information needed to effectively source and procure across the indirect landscape.


2We bring people.

Our shared service centers include highly focused category experts that we deploy across our portfolio of clients, allowing us to bring a broad range of market intelligence and cross-industry experience to drive innovation and cost reduction.

Our client onsite teams work as an extension of our shared service centers to ensure that spending is transacted per agreed pricing and policy, and that fast-turnaround and spot-buy projects are purchased cost-effectively and efficiently.

3We bring process.

We deploy solution and efficiency experts who engage our clients at the outset to streamline processes to get the work done.

4We bring a supplier ecosystem.

Our supplier ecosystem comprises a broad range of manufacturers and service providers (many of whom were previously incumbents at our clients) to support the needs of our aggregated client portfolio. Suppliers are core to our business, and we maintain relationships at the executive level with preferred status to ensure that you receive high-quality products and services at below-market pricing.

5We bring leverage.

Our cross-client spending leverage and market intelligence drive cost reduction, price protection, preferred service levels and quality assurance for you and every client we serve.
