Resource augmentation

Efficio's resource augmentation service enables organisations to rapidly close capability and capacity gaps, execute critical procurement programmes, and elevate team performance through flexible, high-impact support.

Unexpected procurement demands often place additional strain on internal resources. We help bridge this gap by providing access to skilled procurement professionals with expertise across categories, sectors, and levels of seniority, which are available on demand to support delivery and help you scale your procurement function effectively.  
  
Whether you need to boost capacity for new projects, manage supply chain challenges, or bridge execution and strategic capability gaps, we provide flexible and surge capacity support to help you meet demand peaks and keep operations moving.

Common factors leading to resource shortages

Organisations increasingly face operational pressures where internal resources alone aren't enough. Common challenges include: 

• Inability to flex capacity to meet new business demands, projects, or investments 
• The need to staff specific programmes with experienced talent quickly 
• A lack of execution or strategic capability to move initiatives forward 
• Skill or expertise gaps in particular categories or functions 
• Delays in recruiting or replacing key procurement roles 
• Integration workload after mergers or acquisitions 
• Constraints on increasing permanent headcount 
• Temporary drop in productivity from new tools, processes, or operating models

How we help

Our approach goes well beyond traditional training. We offer hands-on coaching and learning-by-doing support where our experts work side-by-side with your team. This creates a rich environment for skills transfer and real-time development.  

We design and deliver people development programmes that support the formation of high-performing teams, enabling you to lift your internal capability through real project work. Our AI-driven proprietary procurement and supply chain platforms, the Connected Platform and eFlow, support this by enhancing our consultants' work and your outcomes. Throughout our engagements, we embed structured knowledge transfer to ensure that the value we deliver stays with your team long after our support ends.

Our resource augmentation service can be deployed standalone or integrated into broader transformation programmes, such as strategic sourcing, operating model redesigns, or capability building. Our approach combines flexibility with accountability, ensuring measurable results and lasting success.
