Cut administration costs

Final Thoughts

There's no denying that data is king in this tech-centric society. Hence, procurement teams should be interested in developing a robust supplier management database, because it will offer clear supplier metrics, vendor visibility and the information they need to make objective data-driven decisions.

Effective Supplier Management Program

Leading procurement teams demand that supplier relationship management solutions be better equipped to adapt to uncertainty and thrive despite disruption.

Open collaborations

As the “glue” between suppliers and stakeholders, procurement leaders must ensure that their SRM program prioritizes collaboration. One way to do this is to provide suppliers and stakeholders a central hub where they can communicate their needs and criteria.

How can you build out your program and set it up for success?

Supply chain control

Procurement teams with robust supplier management systems need to partner with their suppliers and achieve key business goals, like supplier diversity, strategic cost savings and more spend under management.

Involve stakeholders from day one

You can have the best supplier information management program, but all of that means nothing if everyone involved is not engaged. Our team of experts invests time to and ensure all key stakeholders are involved from that start.

Internal and external training

Effective change leadership will go a long way and make a difference in ensuring new processes are adopted by all stakeholders and suppliers. Our team of experts assist with multiple training sessions that educates partners on how to use new programs and take advantage of their benefits.

Oil & Gas

Extracting the most value: Helping oil and gas companies be efficient and competitive.

Volatility and unpredictability in the oil & gas sector have not abated from the levels we've observed over the last several decades. Geopolitical and economic uncertainties, regulatory restrictions, changing global markets and supply risks are compelling oil & gas companies to up their game and adopt a dynamic approach to operations and processes.

Embracing the right strategies and new digital technologies as a means to tackle inevitable cost escalation and finding new avenues of growth and efficiency will be critical to sustainable success.

Unique Challenges

Every segment within the oil & gas sector has its unique challenges and complexities. The common thread among them is the need to contain costs and drive efficiencies. Cost reduction is not new for upstream businesses that were compelled to slash capital expenditures following the recent oil price collapse.

But this has now assumed greater importance amid increasing competition.
