Procurement Consulting Services That Deliver Results
Strategic Sourcing
We identify OEM manufacturers with the right certifications, capacity, and processes to meet your product needs. Through structured RFI/RFQ workflows, market benchmarking, and supplier audits, we improve supplier alignment, reduce sourcing timelines, and ensure scalable partnerships from development through to production.
Cost Reduction
Our consultants analyze your entire OEM cost structure—including BOMs, packaging, freight, and co-packing terms—to uncover savings without compromising quality. We help renegotiate terms, consolidate spend, and re-engineer product specs to reduce total procurement costs by 12–20% across sourcing, production, and delivery.
Contract Management & Negotiation
We develop OEM contracts that clearly define deliverables, ownership rights, penalties, and responsibilities. Our support ensures stronger legal protections, smoother execution, and better pricing structures, helping reduce disputes, protect IP, and improve compliance across your manufacturing partnerships.
Supplier Relationship Management
We implement performance tracking systems, scorecards, and regular check-ins to strengthen OEM partnerships. This structured approach improves accountability, reduces production disruptions, and creates space for co-development and innovation, resulting in stronger collaboration, better product outcomes, and faster issue resolution.
Procurement Transformation
We modernize your OEM procurement by digitizing RFQs, implementing supplier evaluation tools, and training internal teams. Our transformation approach boosts speed, visibility, and control across the sourcing lifecycle, helping you respond faster to demand shifts, supplier risks, and cost pressures.
How We Help
Our consultants partner with your team to reduce complexity, uncover opportunities, and ensure you’re working with the right suppliers from the start.
Cost Control
We analyze your full OEM cost breakdown, from materials and labor to packaging and freight, and find savings without sacrificing flexibility. Our consultants support contract renegotiation, price benchmarking, and supplier consolidation to eliminate waste, align with budgets, and protect you from unexpected cost escalations.
Smarter Procurement
We bring structure and transparency to your sourcing process. From refining spec sheets and setting RFQ standards to implementing scoring models and e-procurement tools, we help you compare offers effectively, manage supplier performance, and make data-driven decisions tailored to your OEM category.
Supplier Strategy
We help you build a reliable OEM supplier network by diversifying sourcing, qualifying dual partners, and balancing nearshoring and offshoring strategies. Whether scaling production or mitigating risk, our approach ensures supplier alignment with your timelines, compliance needs, and long-term manufacturing goals.
Responsible Sourcing
Sustainability is core to our OEM strategy. We help you source from certified, ethical manufacturers that meet your ESG requirements, whether that’s carbon neutrality, traceable ingredients, circular packaging, or local compliance. Our goal: align procurement with your brand values and customer expectations.
Procurement Consulting Process
Initial Consultation & Discovery
We begin with a deep-dive into your OEM sourcing needs—covering technical product specs, packaging formats, required certifications, compliance standards, MOQ targets, and go-to-market timelines. This phase ensures alignment on expectations and defines the parameters for supplier search and engagement.
Spend Analysis & Opportunity Assessment
Our team breaks down your full cost structure—from raw materials to freight—to pinpoint inefficiencies and benchmark spending. We assess current supplier contracts, BOM costs, and packaging workflows to uncover high-impact savings opportunities and enhance your product margins without disrupting operations.
Procurement Strategy Development
Based on the opportunity analysis, we craft a sourcing strategy built for execution—identifying sourcing models (single vs. multi-OEM), geographical considerations, and supplier tiers. We also help develop supplier scorecards, bid formats, and go-to-market timelines tailored to your category and internal capabilities.
Implementation Support
From issuing structured RFQs and collecting quotes to conducting factory assessments and compliance checks, we support every tactical step. We assist with price negotiations, sample approvals, and contract development—all the way through supplier onboarding, QA documentation, and production alignment.
Supplier Relationship & Performance Management
We implement tools and frameworks to monitor OEM supplier performance—defining service-level agreements (SLAs), escalation processes, lead time tracking, and issue resolution protocols. Whether scaling up production or handling setbacks, we help you manage supplier relationships proactively and sustainably.
