Negotiation Is More Than Price

Negotiation is not just about price. It involves aligning terms, service levels, risk sharing, and innovation incentives. This approach unlocks durable value. The result? Better quality, reliable delivery, and partnerships that grow stronger over time.

Measuring Supplier Performance

Do you measure your suppliers’ performance? We build scorecards and dashboards to help you track outcomes and act quickly. Typical KPIs include:

• On-time-in-full (OTIF)

• Defect rate

• Lead-time variance

• Responsiveness

• Cost-to-serve

• Compliance/ESG metrics

  
  

These metrics provide a clear view of who performs well—and why.

Identifying Vulnerabilities in Your Supply Chain

We identify key vulnerabilities in your supply chain before they turn into costly problems. Our focus areas include:

• Supplier stability

• Delivery reliability

• Operational and compliance risks

• Geopolitical exposure

• Logistics disruption

• Overdependence on key vendors

  
  

By addressing these areas, we help you build a more resilient supply chain.

Smart Negotiation for Business Growth

Smart negotiation is essential for long-term success. Typical clients achieve cost improvements of 10–20%, depending on the scope of their projects. Here’s how you can improve your collaboration with suppliers:
