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 minimize these increases.

To our CFO, cost optimization and savings were key drivers behind our focus on overhauling our approach to procurement. Since May 2020, we’ve run a cost optimization program over three years. We achieved that in less than 18 months, so it has been a real success story. So much so that we are moving into the second phase of our relationship with Efficio in a hybrid-managed service
