Sourcing & Procurement Transformation

Protiviti’s experts help organizations identify opportunities, design, and implement best-in-class sourcing and procurement solutions

We help transform procurement functions from transactional activities to a strategic enabler by combining source-to-pay process, business transformation, and industry and digital expertise with our proven approach and methodology, objectivity, advanced analytics, and passion for delivery excellence.

In today’s ever-changing and complex business environment, sourcing and procurement play an increasingly critical role in enabling operations, supporting growth and sustainability, managing risk and resilience, and reducing costs. Successful sourcing and procurement functions address today’s needs and have the foresight to plan for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. To do this, leaders need to see and understand the inefficiencies, opportunities, and best-in-class solutions that exist throughout the entire procurement lifecycle: Strategic Planning, Spend Analysis and Strategic Sourcing, Contract Lifecycle Management, Procure to Pay, Supplier Lifecycle Management, and Category Management.

Our professionals excel at helping organizations understand current opportunities while looking ahead to understand what is coming next. The result is a trusted partner with shared guiding principles to help your organization maximize profitability and resilience.

Guiding principles:

  • Customer-centric
  • Risk protection and resilience
  • Spend management
  • Agility
  • Innovation
  • Decision support
  • Delivered value
     

We help clients address today's needs while planning for tomorrow's challenges and opportunities
