Procurement

AArete has expertise leading outsourcing for procurement needs.

AArete’s flexible solutions are designed to tackle your procurement operations, sourcing support, contract management, and strategic sourcing needs.

Spend Analysis

We provide detailed insight into what you are spending for supplies and services and opportunities for cost reduction. Our proprietary spend analytics platform consolidates multiple sources of spend data to provide rapid visibility across your organizational. From this visibility, AArete helps construct cost savings roadmaps to achieve both short- and long-term savings.

At AArete, our core values mirror those of our clients. Reflected by our guiding principles of inclusion, sustainability, and stewardship, we bring leading practices to improve the use of diverse suppliers and sustainable “green” procurement practices. We can assist with the development of your sustainability strategy, management of sustainability initiatives, and production of sustainability reports, and can even help source and select a skilled Sustainability Officer on a temporary or permanent basis to best align with your business goals.

M&A Integration Support

Our hands-on approach delivers rapid realization of synergies between merging organizations and suppliers. We support pre-merger supply chain road-mapping and spend analysis through post-merger contracting and organization consolidation.

Tail Spend Management

Low-dollar purchase transactions (e.g. tail spend) rapidly add up, often representing 20 – 25% of total spend, but managing tail spend can be challenging due to its decentralized nature and high transaction volumes. AArete helps build strategies for effective tail spend management to enable improved contract negotiations, better pricing, and increased visibility into spending.

Procure-to-Pay Optimization

Optimize your procurement and accounts payable solution(s) through effective use of Procure-to-Pay (P2P) technologies. AArete ensures our clients have or are leveraging an optimal mix of technology solutions so that processes are, or can be designed to leverage automation in the most effective way.
