Featured Case Study

A global telecom reboots supplier negotiation strategy to trim sourcing costs

Challenge: The client wanted to polish up existing negotiation strategies with suppliers. Supplier negotiation approaches turn slow and grimy, and they need a restart from time to time. With this in mind, the telecom business actively looked for ways to identify every single cost driver and reckon its impact on overall cost.

Solution: Our experts carried out a two-step cost-benefit analysis, comprising primary and secondary data collection methods, to weigh in the cost movements across various cost elements. The cost-benefit study served as a baseline for the client to optimize deals with existing suppliers with a focus on cost.

Result: The client has succeeded in cutting back overall costs across its supply networks.
