During turbulent times, our ability to generate savings from cost-based procurement strategies will diminish. Organisations will adopt positions to protect themselves against increasing disruption.

To continue to deliver our ‘value’ targets we must work together with our suppliers, to innovate. Our suppliers on Suppeco welcome this collaborative approach.

Client partnerships now need to be focused on driving value to build relationships - long term. With extensive experience within relationship management, this is the first time I have seen a product that allows both client and supplier to work on the same platform.

With the ability to clearly drive and measure success outside of the generic financial data, Suppeco quantifies the unseen value add and offers collaboration in real time across both entities. It focuses on driving opportunities through rich data for both cost-saving and optimisation of every aspect of the relationship.

We are confident that Suppeco will become an invaluable tool as we build on our relationship with BAE, the ability to interact in realtime as service requirements and new projects unfold within the relationship is excellent. We especially like the selection of dashboard insights that allow any potential issues to be flagged immediately.

During the initial rollout we were invited to provide feedback and have seen the system quickly advance to allow even more interactive and open input from both partners in the relationship. We can absolutely see the value this provides through a true 360 overview of all managed activity.

Ultimately business is about driving value, increasing profit and reducing cost. Suppeco is helping us see how all those things are infinitely more achievable by unlocking our supplier relationships and exploring what we can do together to deliver the business outcomes that we're all looking for.

Suppeco has been key to enabling our SRM programme. The relationships we manage through the platform are improving supplier performance and delivering increased value to our organisation through the collaborative and open way of working that it encourages.
