Expanding Our Procurement Services to Offer More Strategic Advisory
Founder
When I first launched Procurement Solutions, my focus was on full-service procurement management, but as I’ve worked closely with clients, I’ve recognized a growing need for more flexible, strategic advisory services.
This isn’t about replacing what we do; it’s about adding a new layer of support. Businesses today need more than just execution; they need guidance, real-time insights, and a trusted partner to help them navigate specific challenges as they arise. That’s where our expanded advisory services come in.
Why I’m Adding Advisory Services
Over time, it became clear that many of my clients didn’t always need full operational oversight but rather targeted, expert advice. Whether it’s negotiating a critical supplier contract, identifying areas for cost savings, or improving an existing process, having an on-call advisor can make a significant difference. Businesses today operate in an environment that demands agility, and sometimes, you need support in specific areas rather than a comprehensive, hands-on approach.
The decision to expand my offerings into advisory services is a direct response to these needs. Now, you’ll have access to strategic insights whenever you need them without the commitment to a full-service model. This allows your business to stay lean, efficient, and adaptable while still benefiting from expert procurement guidance.
What Does This Look Like?
The new advisory services provide businesses with the flexibility to tap into procurement expertise on their own terms. Here’s how it works:
On-Demand Expertise -
You’ll have real-time access to expert guidance as procurement challenges arise. Whether you need help renegotiating a supplier agreement or evaluating your current procurement processes, I’m available to offer tailored, timely advice.
Long-Term, Strategic Partnerships -
I still believe in building long-term relationships with my clients, but the advisory model offers a more streamlined, high-impact approach. Instead of managing every detail, I focus on providing the strategic guidance your business needs at key moments.
Cost-Effective Support -
This new approach allows businesses to reduce the costs associated with full-service procurement while still gaining valuable insights. By focusing on specific areas of need, you can save on operational costs while receiving the guidance necessary to improve procurement outcomes.
Empowering Your Team -
Another advantage of the advisory model is that it empowers your team. Rather than taking over your procurement processes, I provide your team with the tools and strategies they need to succeed. This builds long-term value and gives you more control over your procurement operations.
The Benefits of a Strategic Advisory Approach
The expanded advisory services offer several key benefits to your business:
Flexibility -
You get the advice you need when you need it, whether you require one hour a week or ten, without the commitment to full-service management.
Focus -
By concentrating on specific areas of need, you can address the most pressing challenges without a complete overhaul.
Expertise -
You’ll benefit from my years of experience in procurement, without having to bring in a full-time resource or commit to a long-term contract.
Efficiency -
This approach saves time and resources by focusing only on the areas that need the most attention, helping your business run more smoothly and cost-effectively.
Why This Matters
In today’s rapidly changing business environment, the need for flexibility has never been greater. While full-service procurement solutions still provide value, many businesses now seek a more adaptable approach. I frequently heard, "We have someone doing that," when offering comprehensive services. This feedback helped shape my expanded advisory services, allowing businesses to tackle procurement challenges without the full weight of managing the entire supply chain. My advisory model delivers targeted, on-demand support exactly where and when it’s needed most.
By focusing on what matters most, whether it’s supplier negotiations, cost-saving strategies, or process optimization, I’m able to provide my clients with the insights and guidance they need exactly when they need them. This new layer of support allows your business to remain agile and competitive while still having access to the expert procurement advice that drives success.
Moving Forward
Adding advisory services is all about giving you the support you need on your own terms. Whether it’s a short-term project or an ongoing strategic partnership, my goal is to help your business achieve its procurement goals efficiently and effectively. Whether you need one hour a week or ten, I’m here to provide the tailored, flexible support that ensures your procurement process aligns with your long-term goals.
