PwC is the prototypical non-BPO “Big 4” consulting firm for across-the-board competence in procurement transformation services — in terms of strategy, automated spend analytics, category intelligence/tools, performance/capability diagnostics (with an attractive industry-specific benchmarking focus), agile implementation, and source-to-pay technology consulting and accelerated system implementation with major S2P suites (and some niche vendors). Yet, the procurement service line really leverages the firm’s service breadth through focused integration with other PwC practice competencies in supply chain, risk & compliance (e.g,. third-party risk management), governance (and internal audit), working capital, treasury operations, tax, and IT sourcing/management.
But where does PwC differentiate from other services firms focused on digital procurement transformation, and how can potential clients get up to speed on the full range of partners they should consider when launching a project?
Spend Matters recently carried out extensive research into the status of the current procurement services providers’ market and published a Procurement Services Market Landscape report and a procurement services Buyers Directory to assist organizations in the evaluation and selection of best-fit services providers for their project requirements. The directory profiles 35 of the leading procurement management consultancies, procurement technology implementation specialists and procurement managed services providers, and provides a one-page overview on each to give quick and easy access to the provider’s expertise. Here’s a sneak peek:
