What Is the Advisory Model
Spend Tactics provides on-demand procurement leadership and execution support—functioning as an extension of the client’s internal team. This includes:
- Strategic leadership (category strategy, supplier risk, cost transformation)
- Tactical execution (RFx, contract review, supplier onboarding, PO tracking)
- Flexible delivery (retainer, block hours, or hybrid structure)
Client Benefits
Instant Access to Deep Procurement Expertise
- Benefit: Senior category experts, sourcing specialists, and analysts on demand.
- Why it matters: Most mid-sized or growing companies can’t justify or retain a full in-house team with this range of skills.
- Use Case: Accelerating sourcing strategies, rationalizing suppliers, or conducting risk assessments without recruiting effort or delay.
Faster Time-to-Impact
- Benefit: Skip the hiring curve, training ramp-up, and process redesign.
- Why it matters: You hit the ground running with plug-and-play capability.
- Example: Need help with supplier consolidation? Compliance enforcement? Contract leakage? It’s handled immediately.
Strategic & Tactical Support in One Motion
- Benefit: Clients get both “think” and “do”—not just advice or just admin.
- Why it matters: Strategy without execution stalls. Execution without strategy wastes money.
- Delivery: Spend Tactics supports the full procurement lifecycle—from planning and prioritization to negotiation and compliance tracking.
Lower Total Cost than Full-Time Hiring
- Benefit: Fractional access means clients only pay for what they need—no overhead, no FTE burden.
- Why it matters: Ideal for companies undergoing transformation, M&A integration, cost pressure, or that lack mature procurement infrastructure.
- Result: Savings go toward margin—not headcount.
Data-Driven Decision Support
- Benefit: Advanced spend analytics, supplier dashboards, and opportunity assessments built-in.
- Why it matters: Moves the client from gut-based buying to insight-driven sourcing and supplier management.
- Outcome: Smarter decisions, lower risk, and higher ROI per dollar spent.
Continuity with Flexibility
- Benefit: Consistent support, but without the rigidity of hiring or traditional consulting.
- Why it matters: Business needs fluctuate—this model scales with them.
- Delivery model: Can flex between embedded support, ad hoc sourcing events, or program management.
Executive-Level Reporting & C-Suite Alignment
- Benefit: Spend Tactics brings clear, executive-ready insights to align with finance, ops, and board priorities.
- Why it matters: Procurement is often undervalued due to lack of visibility—this model fixes that.
- Output: Quarterly dashboards, initiative trackers, and KPI scorecards tailored to leadership goals.
