opportunity assessment

Delving into historical spend data stands as a cornerstone in any strategic sourcing endeavor. In addition to scrutinizing spend, Bain Strategic undertakes a comprehensive evaluation of existing sourcing procedures to outline a roadmap from current state to an ideal scenario. This roadmap is crafted with input from key stakeholders across the business.

Procurement teams, senior leadership, and suppliers are actively involved in crafting an extensive, long-term savings strategy. Following this, categories are identified, potential savings are assessed, and a thorough analysis of the supply market is conducted.

Thorough Opportunity Evaluation with Bain Strategic: Our procurement experts tailor programs to suit your unique requirements.

  • Detailed analysis of category data including supplier breakdown, business unit distribution, sub-categories, diversity spending, and purchase order counts.
  • Identification of synergies across different business units/companies and opportunities for supplier consolidation.
  • Identification, quantification, and prioritization of opportunities based on potential savings, category complexity, ease of implementation, and other factors influencing change management.

supply market intelligence

As experts in Strategic Sourcing, Bain Strategic understands the critical role of actionable supply chain market intelligence (SMI) in enabling enterprises to mitigate risks, realize cost efficiencies, and secure a competitive edge. However, acquiring such data poses a challenge, leaving firms vulnerable to significant sourcing-related risks.

Bain Strategic’s global market intelligence team comprises over 160 researchers dedicated to supporting procurement professionals with both category-specific and macroeconomic insights. Our team of category-aligned researchers, complemented by econometricians and data scientists, possesses extensive expertise across a wide spectrum of direct and indirect categories. Their comprehensive insights empower firms to make informed supply decisions within their respective categories while remaining agile in responding to factors such as cost fluctuations and supply chain disruptions.

Tailored to meet your specific requirements, Bain Strategic delivers in-depth insights alongside quick overviews of spend categories and snapshots of supply market analyses. Our off-the-shelf procurement reports (category dossiers) cover numerous categories and commodities, ensuring you have access to the information needed to navigate the complexities of the supply chain landscape effectively.

Supplier risk managment & assessment

In today’s intricate global procurement landscape, characterized by numerous suppliers linked to organizations, pinpointing risks has become exceedingly challenging, let alone mitigating them.

Procurement teams encounter a multitude of operational, financial, compliance, and industry-specific risks. At Bain Strategic, we assist clients in proactively identifying third-party risks and enhancing their management efficiency. Through the development of robust supply risk management strategies, we aim to mitigate vulnerabilities and safeguard business continuity.
