Strategic Procurement Solutions teams with several firms that enhance our ability to provide excellent services to our clients. Their management teams share our vision of how to serve clients, have outstanding resources at their disposal, and add specialty depth to our own capabilities. We’d like to introduce:

Strategic Procurement Solutions often utilizes cost-effective eSourcing technology tools in our client engagements. When appropriate, we bring the ability to perform eRFI, eRFQ, eRFP and Reverse Auctions in a streamlined & comprehensive manner. Strategic Procurement Solutions’ sourcing experts can work with our client’s own sourcing technologies (including experience with tools like Ariba Sourcing, Procuri, etc). When we are asked to provide this technology ourselves for client engagements, we use hosted sourcing technology from the EC Sourcing Group…one of the fastest-growing providers of eSourcing technology in today’s SCM marketplace.If desired by the client, our services can also be structured to leave behind the technology tools for them to use on an ongoing basis.

Strategic Procurement Solutions often assists clients in selecting the best e-commerce solutions for their particular business requirements. We have comprehensive awareness of the benefits and weaknesses in leading systems, and provide an objective evaluation of the leading contenders. Recent engagements have had us working with clients who use such tools as PeopleSoft, Oracle, Lawson, and Microsoft Great Plains.

For Russell 2000-sized clients, we sometimes recommend PurchasingNet’s technology which provides powerful Catalog Management, eProcurement, Punchout, Inventory Management, and ePayables technology modules. During their 17 years of progressive service to the Supply Management sector, they have over 1,400 successful implementations serving over 400,000 user seats.

Please contact us for a complimentary introduction to PurchasingNet’s executive team.

One of Strategic Procurement Solutions' specialty categories is that of commercial printing. Our last five projects sourcing events on this spend category yielded multi-million dollar savings between 38% and 52% for Fortune 500 clients. We often find that the processes used to develop, design, and purchase printed materials can be greatly improved using Noosh’s sophisticated technology.

Strategic Procurement Solutions' expertise in sourcing printing services can be enhanced, upon a client’s request, to include enhancement and simplification of the print development & management process.

Our alliance with Noosh is one way we help this process improvement.

Strategic Procurement Solutions has much expertise in HR–related spend categories like Temporary Labor, Contract Personnel, Training, Benefits, Professional Services and Travel. We consistently achieve remarkable savings for large clients in these categories, including a recent $15 Million savings restructuring a large automotive sector manufacturer’s temporary labor program.

These types of programs often fit into the larger responsibilities of Human Resources organizations, who are often a principal owner within the client organization when we source these complex categories.

To bring in full-scope HR consulting expertise, Strategic Procurement Solutions sometimes partners with Level 5 Advantage to provide a well-rounded group of services that provide clients with deep savings and improved HR organizational performance.

Level 5 Advantage’s management team brings deep HR experience to these engagements, at a fraction of the expense normally charged for HR consulting services.
