Common questions
Think of it as hiring the whole procurement function instead of one person. Coverage across 15+ categories, always-on availability, and institutional knowledge that never walks out the door — priced comparably to a senior hire, without the bonuses, benefits, equity, or payroll tax.
Onboard us exactly like you would a new procurement hire. Give us access to the systems you use, your vendor lists, your approval matrices, and any existing purchasing history. Two weeks later we are operating. The difference is we do not take 3–6 months to ramp.
Two weeks from kickoff to fully operational. The first week is onboarding — systems, vendors, approvals, preferences. By week two we are handling live requests.
Priced comparably to hiring a senior procurement person — without the bonuses, benefits, equity, or payroll tax. One flat monthly fee scoped to your addressable spend. Book a call and we will give you a specific number.
Hire them. We will help with the transition and hand off everything we have learned. No hard feelings — we want what is best for your business.
Through email, Slack, Teams, phone, SMS, or your ERP — whatever your team already uses. No new software to learn, no systems to integrate, no IT project required.

Month-to-month after the initial trial. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. We earn your business every month.
A structured analysis of your company's purchasing data — typically 1–3 years of accounts payable and general ledger records. We build a spend cube that lets you see exactly where money is going across categories, suppliers, business units, and more. The output is a prioritized list of improvement opportunities with clear dollar values attached.
The methodology draws from the same best practices used by leading consulting firms. The difference is speed, cost, and continuity. What used to take a large team months and cost seven figures, we deliver in one to two weeks for a fraction of the cost. And unlike a traditional consulting engagement, we can execute the initiatives we identify — not just hand you a report.
No. The diagnostic stands on its own and many clients start there. But the initiatives it identifies — vendor consolidations, contract renegotiations, RFPs — are exactly what the tactical service executes. Clients who do both see the full value cycle: diagnose, implement, measure, repeat.
Yes — this is where the diagnostic is most powerful. Running it across a portfolio reveals cross-company opportunities that no single company can see: shared vendors, volume aggregation, best-practice transfer. We report at both the individual company and portfolio level.
Accounts payable data and general ledger records — typically a CSV or Excel export from your ERP or accounting system. Two to three years of history is ideal. Most companies can pull this in a day. If you are not sure what you have, we will help you figure it out on the discovery call.
One to two weeks from the time we receive your data. The spend cube is built in the first few days; the analysis, opportunity identification, and initiative recommendations follow. You get a full readout with prioritized actions and estimated savings.
