Opportunities Abound

Spend management, procurement dashboards, category management, supplier development—many of these strategic initiatives also have sporadic resource requirements, making it especially difficult to staff using traditional in-house resource models.

But opportunities abound—managed procurement services technologies are making greater strides in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Language (AI/ML) capabilities to drive more prescriptive decision making in sourcing, risk management, and contracting, ensuring procurement organizations are an integral part of the business and pushing them to think beyond cost savings.

Procurement organizations of the future recognize this reimagination moment for their business model and the opportunity to leverage a more agile, innovative way of doing business. They look beyond cost savings to rethink team dynamics, create operational efficiencies, build value, and drive growth to become a strategic industry leader.

more about Managed Services

Supporting Your Success

ProcureAbility’s Managed Services helps you solve a variety of issues.

Insufficient capacity

Day-to-day transactional activities may be prioritized above strategic, value-driving activities such as category planning or building stakeholder relationships when procurement teams are under-staffed

Ineffective delivery models

We often see clients that have all onshore teams or all offshore teams that lack appropriate cultural integration and personal support. Often, these models lack adequate resource coverage, have issues matching the appropriate resource to the right activity, and have uncoordinated service delivery and poor change management.

Inadequate capabilities

Stakeholders treat the team as order takers or even refuse to engage with them, owing to a lack of prior skills and expertise.

Inefficient resource models

A lack of long-term planning for recruiting or consulting can result in underutilized (or expensive) expertise or a suboptimal solution.

What Makes ProcureAbility Different?

End-to-end capabilities

Adaptive support that includes strategic procurement management consulting and process-driven execution teams at every stage of the procurement lifecycle

Integrated program management

Single point of contact for project planning, execution, coordination, and accountability

Performance tracking

Comprehensive dashboards to monitor, track, and improve workloads, KPIs, and SLA performance

Customizable solutions

Collaborative solutions that are tailored to each individual client's needs and that may be delivered onsite, offsite, or offshore in a variety of commercial scenarios

Coordinated program delivery

Onshore (often, onsite) program leadership to provide consistent service and focus on important stakeholder interactions

Transformation experience

Proven procurement transformation experience with Fortune 500 clients in various industries in creating extended execution capacity to create efficiencies and drive cost savings

Fit-for-purpose, economical design

We use more expensive, strategic resources as needed, typically at the client/program management level, and less expensive execution resources for day-to-day execution work, allowing for a “hybrid” solution that provides an optimized solution, balancing costs with your specific support requirements.

Institutionalized knowledge transfer

Creation of process documentation, program tools and templates, and on-demand coaching to further enable existing teams

Robust tracking of tangible results
