At the core of Supply Chain Connections diagnostic services is a comprehensive audit including spend analysis and review of your supplier network and contracts.

Our goal is to identify areas of improvement and expenditure tracking that will allow effective action plans to be created.

In our experience, responsibility for an organisation’s supply chain and procurement processes is often handballed between employees as a secondary function of their role. However, without a dedicated resource or expertise in-house to drive it opportunities are missed – including significant cost savings – and supply chain problems become more challenging to navigate.

Procurement doesn’t need to be boring. If your business is ready to proactively transform its supply chain with fresh thinking, our diagnostics service is the perfect place to start.
