Program | Project Management

A disciplined process is taken to identify and capture opportunities for cost reductions in direct and indirect expenditures.  It begins with a deep dive into data analytics to identify category and item spend levels and drivers impacting spend.  These insights are shared and reviewed with key client stakeholders.  A strategy is developed for direct negotiations with suppliers.  Many times OIC partners with the client in these negotiations.  Geographies are domestic or international.  Extensive experience in global supply chain/procurement in lower cost domains provides significant opportunity for cost reductions and margin strengthening as well as options related to supplier alternatives; this while keeping quality and delivery front and center of the supply objectives.

Global Procurement | Strategic Sourcing

It is not unusual for purchasing departments to outsource some areas of procurement and/or related supply chain to other third party providers.  OIC can support this initiative with expertise and experience sourcing multi-categories globally.  This is a cost effective alternative for the OIC clients if, for example, they want to spend their time and resources procuring critical materials in the large dollar spend categories.  You may be a wholesale distribution company looking for an alternative supplier in a low cost country to fill out a price point offering or prototype your own in-house brand; or a large retailer looking to direct source a product or category to achieve margin goals.  Whatever the situation, OIC partners with clients to design a sourcing plan that works best for them.
