How we help
Procurement is undergoing a radical transformation. Today’s businesses must find ways to leverage technology and talent, develop both hard and soft skills, and embed learning into their cultures. At Efficio, we’ll help you build the right team with the right skills – and manage any gaps in the interim. We can guide you on how to build capability within your team, ensuring they remain adaptable and skilled in this evolving landscape.
To accelerate results and delivery, businesses need the right team with a full understanding of requirements. We understand this can be a challenge. Not all organisations have the procurement capacity to operate an end-to-end function or the time to train their people.
As both consultants and practitioners, we’ll turbo-boost your delivery and results using a combination of knowledge, technology, content, and data. Whether that’s training through the Efficio Academy or using our data to drive decision making, you will successfully boost your procurement function in the long and short term.
It’s not uncommon to face increased short-term workloads. This can be caused by one-off major project procurements, delays in replacing key staff members, or the integration of an acquired procurement function.
Short-term or short-notice requirements, such as new business plans, can place additional strains on procurement resources. The right flexible resource augmentation is essential for bridging the gap.
Whether it’s managing a specific project or handling new tools and processes, in-house teams sometimes need a boost. This may take the shape of specialists working alongside an existing team or talent to plug a short-term gap.
Businesses maintaining a core team for regular operations often require additional resources, specific skills, or category expertise that's available on-demand, to carry them through peak procurement periods.
If unexpected requirements are putting a strain on your procurement services, we’re here to help. Our experts will analyse your business objectives and understand your areas of pressure before recommending solutions to meet your exact requirements. Whatever your challenges, you can draw on our sector-wide expertise or tap into high-level consultancy offered through our management procurement services.
In addition, you’ll have access to in-depth data that optimises your decision making. Plus, our eFlow Knowledge Hub, delivers the know-how we have gathered over the past 20+ years and the latest content covering best practice, delivery, and ways to build your procurement capability. Efficio can provide a flexible capacity to address the peak periods that arise with new projects, additional stakeholder requirements, and business strategies.
