Today’s key challenges
Holistic cost management
Short-term, price-focused solutions are no longer enough. To truly improve margins, reduce waste, and remain competitive, businesses must adopt an holistic long-term view of total cost. This includes re-evaluating delivery models, such as outsourcing or shifting between make-or-buy strategies, to uncover more sustainable and strategic efficiencies.
In-year savings
Unforeseen circumstances often leave businesses over-budget halfway through the year. This means a practical, fast-track approach is needed to achieve in-year reductions.
Managing working capital
Maintaining the balance between growth, profitability, and liquidity is difficult. It’s even more challenging to rebalance these levers while maintaining service levels.
Mitigating inflation
Disruptive global events have left some businesses vulnerable to supplier price increases. The key is knowing how to minimise these increases.

NEW RESEARCH REPORT
The illusion of control in indirect spend
Procurement and finance experts want full control of their indirect spend, but most admit this remains an aspiration rather than reality. New research from Efficio, based on a survey of 300 European procurement and finance leaders, sets out to determine whether money is being left on the table because indirect spend is not reviewed consistently.
