Built and deployed by practitioners, eFlow is a proprietary procurement technology platform designed to support savings delivery, improve supplier partnerships, drive innovation and manage risk.

Combining this comprehensive procurement technology solution with the in-depth knowledge, category expertise and vast content pool amassed by our consultants over many years of working with clients, enables us to offer you the best possible solution.

eFlow offers a number of benefits when used in conjunction with our consultants including the ability to deliver savings faster across a larger addressable cost pool, improved levels of supplier compliance, and measurable and sustainable savings. 

Through our consultants you can also draw on the skills of our 50-strong team of digital experts to maximise the benefit driven from data and drive client value, allowing you to deliver tangible benefits and project ROI.

eFlow Spend Analytics enabled us for the first time to obtain detailed visibility of Fujitsu's global procurement spend. Until then this has been a significant challenge due to our organisational complexity and the large number of ERP systems we operate.
