Additional Challenges in Procurement Today

At IPC we know there are more than just two problems in procurement. Is your company experiencing problems in some or all of the following categories?

  • Excessive amounts of Procurement Staff time devoted to “Transactional” Supplier Spend vs. “Strategic” Supplier Spend

  • High Volume of Purchasing “exceptions” during the Procure 2 Pay and ERP process

  • Underachievement of Quantifiable Cost Savings and Spend Reductions

  • Spend Leakage resulting from non-compliance to standard Procurement Processes

  • Slow pace of Procurement operations and spend projects causing stakeholder / executive frustration and operational delays

  • Inadequate processes surrounding the Supplier Lifecycle including:  Supplier Due Diligence, On-boarding / Off-boarding, Timing and Consistency

  • Unknown or Excessive number of Suppliers delivering the same or similar Products and Services

  • Lack of a “single source” for supplier contracts and contract meta-data

  • Limited “Control and Management” of Supplier Contracts and Supplier Compliance

  • Unnecessary Overspend or Unanticipated Contract expirations due to the “Auto Renewal” or “Auto Termination” of improperly managed Supplier Contracts

Why choose IPC?

As companies grow and mature, they become better and more sophisticated at selling products, retaining customers, driving revenue, and growing their workforce.  However, during this growth and maturation process, some critical business functions are left behind or become severely neglected.

Companies begin spending more capital with suppliers for products and services that are vital to the company operations.  However, their procurement processes and operations do not evolve and mature to accommodate this change in supplier spend.  They remain entrenched in the current inefficient purchasing processes and practices.  The procurement group continues to process requisitions and purchase orders but lack the skills, experience, and processes to manage and leverage this larger and more complex supplier spend.  They continue to operate as an “activity-based” purchasing operation instead of maturing into a “strategic-based” procurement operation.  Tens of thousands and potentially millions of dollars are wasted or remain unnegotiated.  This inefficiency erodes operating income, investment, and unnecessarily increases operating expenses.

IPC has the experience and skill to take your purchasing operation to the next level.  IPC will evaluate your purchasing operation and create a step-by-step timeline and roadmap.  Using this roadmap, IPC will work with you to enable your staff to make better supplier, product, and service decisions, thereby reducing your overall supplier cost, while mitigating your company’s business and legal risk.

IPC’s methodology and business model creates LONG-TERM and SUSTAINABLE cost savings and improved Procure to Pay processes for its customers.
