PROCUREMENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Increased demand from internal customers is one very tangible indicator of procurement’s growing importance to the enterprise. On the other hand, this increased demand — if not resourced adequately — can overwhelm already lean internal teams, actually eroding their overall impact.
Support services from EP Tech are designed to help keep enterprise procurement teams firing on all cylinders, enabling your group to meet its targets, expand its reach and keep pace with rising expectations.
That’s why enterprise procurement teams at Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies across Europe, the United Kingdom and the Americas ask EP Tech to support them across a wide range of procurement activities.

CATEGORY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
As procurement continues to evolve from a tactical to a strategic enterprise function, CPOs and other senior procurement leaders are being evaluated on their team’s strategic contributions to the success of the business.
Cost control and take-out remain as prime objectives, but procurement’s mission is increasingly seen as impacting both the top and bottom lines, with a direct connection to enterprise growth and competitiveness. How can you start meeting these intensified expectations — delivering impressive savings, yes, but also creating value that indicates progress toward organizational maturity?
Our category management services not only help procurement teams in market-leading enterprises worldwide save more money, but also contribute value in ways that include improving supplier performance, mitigating supply risks, and driving innovation and continuous improvement.
The Power of Proactive
Dependable suppliers, good contractual terms — that’s the general “punch list.”
Changing business needs, compliance gaps and below-par supplier performance can all erode identified savings.
Proactive management is integral to ensure that suppliers and contracts deliver real savings and value. That’s the EP Tech approach to category management consulting. It gets you:
- Real-time market intelligence on suppliers and commodities
- Best-practice category and industry methodologies
- Precise category planning, encompassing forecasting and budgeting
- Supplier performance tracking
- Improved compliance
- Proactive contract reviews and renewals
- Decreased off-contract (maverick) purchasing and greater spend under management
- Live savings measurement and tracking – identified vs. realized
- Constant annual cost reductions
