Tail Spend Management: Food Manufacturer
By reducing the number of tail end suppliers, employees use the existing supplier base, spend less time setting up new supplier records, and the end-to-end internal purchase-to-pay costs are reduced.
Client overview
Ebit worked with a large food manufacturing business with sites in the UK and Europe on a tail spend management project, which involved a combination of spend consolidation, incumbent supplier negotiation and process and policy improvements.
Our approach
We analyse existing spend to identify opportunities for supplier consolidation, in order to identify an appropriate management strategy. We also consider improvements to policy and process control to future-proof tail spend management.
