As your company grows, procurement gaps can emerge that slow down your growth - or weaken your position ahead of a fundraising round or exit. Source helps scale-ups take control of procurement, contracts and supplier relationships to protect profitability and support continued growth.

The challenge Scale-ups often face a number of concrete inflection points: decisions around what to keep in-house versus outsource, a need to consolidate or restructure the supplier base – particularly within IT where risk exposure is rarely mapped – and increasing demands from investors or potential buyers for procurement, contracts and financials to be structured and transparent. On top of this, a clear and simple framework for how and by whom purchases are made is often needed.

What we offer We analyse your current situation: what is being bought, from whom, on what terms and with what risk profile. From there, we help you make well-informed in/outsourcing decisions, consolidate the supplier base where it creates value, and build the contract and procurement structure needed to raise capital or complete a transaction on favorable terms.

What you can expect A lower cost base, reduced supplier risk, and a procurement function that instils confidence – in your organisation, your investors and your potential buyers.

When you work with Source, you also get access to our digital procurement portal – a tool for searching and qualifying suppliers, managing product launch projects and keeping track of supplier communication and spend, all in one place.
