Your Supply Chain Is Either a Competitive Advantage or a Hidden Cost
Most organisations know their supply chain has room for improvement. Few have the internal capacity to find exactly where, or the specialist knowledge to act on it without disruption. Xsperto’s procurement and supply chain advisory does both.
- Spend analysis and category management across direct and indirect procurement
- Strategic sourcing and supplier negotiation
- Contract portfolio review and renegotiation
- Supply chain mapping and risk identification
- Inventory optimisation and logistics cost reduction
- Procurement operating model and capability building
- AI-assisted spend intelligence, with patterns validated by senior advisors
- Implementation support alongside your internal team, not instead of it
For CPOs, CFOs, supply chain directors and operations leaders in organisations where procurement and supply chain costs represent a significant share of the cost base. We typically work with organisations above NOK 200 million in revenue that have limited internal capacity to drive improvement.
Particularly relevant when:
- Supplier bases are fragmented or contracts are due for renewal
- You are entering new markets or scaling internationally
- Margins are under pressure from input-cost inflation or currency volatility
- A merger or acquisition requires supplier consolidation
- Supply chains span multiple sites or borders
- Procurement resources are too limited for proactive category work
- Typically 8–25% cost reduction in targeted procurement categories, depending on the starting point and execution
- A clear, prioritised view of where effort will have the greatest impact
- Stronger supplier terms and relationships
- Lower supply chain risk with better visibility and governance
- Internal capability to sustain the improvements over time
Procurement and supply chain are two sides of the same value chain: what you buy, from whom and at what price — and how it moves through the organisation. Procurement strategy without supply chain visibility leaves savings behind. Logistics optimisation without sourcing insight misses upstream costs. Xsperto does both in one engagement, with one accountable outcome.
The Xsperto and ERA Group network has reviewed more than NOK 337 billion in client spend across 100+ categories and 5,000+ projects, including manufacturing, retail, healthcare and energy.
