Delivering Intelligent Procurement Projects
Since 2012 Ebit has built an enviable client base and excellent reputation thanks to our focus on delivering exceptional results for our clients.
We provide innovative procurement solutions and services, delivered with a complete focus on our clients needs and we know our stuff.
We are a different type of business, not your typical suit and power point consultants. We work with many businesses that come to us with a poor opinion of procurement consultants. Disappointed and dulled by their experiences with consulting firms that have made expensive recommendations without any understanding or execution capabilities.
Typically, having invested considerable, time, effort and capital in supposed “expert” advice, these businesses have frequently ended up with nothing more than an overpriced PowerPoint presentation. They spent to save, yet no actual savings were delivered.
We approach our client engagements differently. Our best results are achieved when we work with our clients, their key stakeholders and suppliers to deliver end-to-end procurement projects.
That means driving real savings to the bottom line. Whether our client is an SME organisation or a multinational brand, our approach is the same, understand the client, identify the challenges and deliver the savings and service improvement.
Our clients benefit directly from our desire to achieve exceptional results and get their projects completed, we get things done.
But that’s not enough, we won’t finish a project until it’s completed to our high standards, as nothing is good enough until it’s good enough.
Our success has been built on people, our team of experienced consultants deliver more than savings, assisting with processes, policies and procedures. Our clients challenge us and help us to achieve these exceptional results.
For us it’s all about the people. We are straight talking and won’t deliver only on what the book says, we take the time to understand and deliver what your business needs
