Indirect spending represents up to 30 percent of the volume of total purchasing and always holds potential for the profitability of a company. Such spending relates to services, capital goods and consumables that are required for day-to-day business operations and do not flow directly into your company's value creation process. They include services and products such as IT and telecommunications expenses, logistics, facility management or professional services.
Indirect spending has a high, often underestimated savings potential. The optimization of indirect procurement is often neglected due to a lack of transparency and structure.

Cost pressure is more intense than ever. Companies are being forced to reduce their costs. Savings must be realized. However, indirect procurement as a source for cost optimization continues to be underestimated. Many of the affected categories are too complex and lack transparency. Nevertheless, there are solutions that can be used to effectively and sustainably meet the challenge of indirect spending.
To address indirect spend challenges, procurement needs innovative means and multi-layered approaches that go beyond traditional levers such as generating increased competition among suppliers. It is a matter of understanding and penetrating the overall value stream of the individual categories. This is the only way to ensure that all opportunities are consistently exploited and that procurement makes a sustainable contribution.
We find and set these levers in motion for you!
