Frequently Asked Questions
What is procurement outsourcing?
Delegating part or all of your purchasing, from sourcing to PR-to-PO execution, tail spend and category management, to a specialist partner who runs it on your behalf to cut cost and improve compliance.
What is a PR-to-PO desk?
An outsourced team that turns your approved purchase requisitions into accurate, on-policy purchase orders, handling sourcing, quotation, PO creation and follow-up without adding internal headcount.
How is this different from a procurement marketplace?
A marketplace is a catalogue you buy from yourself. Procurement outsourcing is a service where a partner runs the buying process for you.
How much can it save?
Most savings come from previously unmanaged indirect and tail spend. For example, ShakeDeal delivered 4% tail-spend savings for a large metals and mining client. Actual savings depend on your spend profile.
