Procurement Margin Recovery Sprint

A focused 14-day engagement. We analyze your supplier spend, identify where margin is being lost, and hand you a category-by-category execution roadmap. Done for you. No bandwidth required from your team.

What's included

Full spend analysis: categorized, cleaned, and mapped to your supplier base
Spend visibility report: where money goes, which suppliers are unchallenged, where consolidation is possible
Kraljic matrix segmentation of your top spend categories
Alignment of procurement priorities with your EBIT goals
Opportunity identification across cost, risk, and process dimensions
Category-by-category execution roadmap with clear next steps
Delivered in 14 days. Every project run by senior profiles, no juniors.

Businesses where previous procurement projects produced recommendations, not results
Any manufacturing SMB with €1M+ in supplier spend and no structured category strategy

🛡️ The Guarantee

Minimum €50,000 in identified savings opportunities in 14 days. If we do not reach that threshold, we keep working until we get there. No extra charge. Every recommendation is documented, quantified, and mapped to specific categories and suppliers. Not estimates. If the opportunity isn't there, we'll tell you before we start.

Steps 1–5 of the Framework · Sprint + Retainer

Sprint + Execution

Everything in the Sprint, plus full implementation of the defined strategies. For businesses that want savings executed, not just mapped.

What's included

Everything in the Sprint (Diagnose, Segment, Strategize)
RFx design and execution for priority categories
New supplier sourcing, qualification, and comparison
Benchmark analysis and TCO-based decision frameworks
Category strategy implementation
Savings tracker: confirmed, tracked, and mapped to the P&L
Supplier performance management setup
Ongoing advisory. Senior delivery, no juniors.

Who it's for

SMBs without a dedicated Head of Procurement
Businesses that want savings executed, not just identified
PE-backed companies with an EBIT improvement mandate and a defined timeline
Companies post-Sprint who want to keep momentum

🛡️ Why this over hiring

A Head of Procurement costs €60–90K/year plus 3–6 months to hire and onboard, with no guarantee of methodology or results. This gives you senior procurement execution from day one, without the overhead and without the risk.

Common Questions

FAQ

How does the 14-day Sprint actually work? +

You share your purchasing data: ERP exports, invoice data, supplier list. We do the analysis. There are two structured working sessions: one to review findings, one to validate the roadmap. Minimal time from your team. Full deliverable: spend visibility report, opportunity map, execution roadmap, within 14 days.

What does the guarantee actually mean? +

Minimum €50,000 in identified savings opportunities: documented, quantified, and mapped to specific categories and suppliers. Not estimates. If we don't reach that threshold, we keep working at no extra charge. If we don't think the opportunity is there before we start, we'll tell you and we won't proceed.

We already have a purchasing manager. How does this fit? +

The question to ask is what "under control" means in numbers. How much was captured last year? A team processing POs is not the same as a team running category strategies. We work alongside existing teams, not as a replacement, but as the structured methodology and external benchmark they don't have internally.

We've had consultants before who gave us a report and disappeared. +

We understand the frustration. The Sprint delivers an execution roadmap, not a diagnosis that sits in a folder. Every recommendation is tied to a specific action, supplier, and savings value. The Sprint + Execution retainer exists precisely for this situation: we stay and implement.

What size of business is this for? +

The sweet spot is €10M–€100M in revenue with at least €1M in annual supplier spend. Below that, the savings won't cover the fee and we'll say so upfront. If you're unsure, book a call and we'll qualify it in 10 minutes.

Why not just hire a Head of Procurement? +

3–6 months to hire and onboard. €60–90K/year fixed cost. No guarantee of methodology or results. With the Sprint, you have a qualified savings number in 14 days. With the retainer, you have senior execution without the overhead. Most clients use this to prove the case for a future hire, or realize they don't need one.

Let's see if there's an opportunity.

20-minute call. We'll qualify your situation and tell you honestly if the Sprint makes sense.
