Overview

Price and service comparison activities are instrumental to building a longlasting supplier relationship management and positioning your team for fruitful negotiations with current or prospective suppliers. For companies looking to win in the marketplace, it is no longer enough to manage costs and improve services. Oftentimes for these companies, the value of price benchmarking with peers and competitors goes beyond cutting costs and becomes about developing a competitive edge through a winning strategy, process improvements, and innovations. In order to achieve that, supplier benchmarking becomes a key procurement activity. However, many companies are challenged for access to resources to produce meaningful insights and intelligence that will inform their winning strategy. They are equally challenged finding and validating information about supplier benchmarking due to factors such as volatile prices. 

This is where SpendEdge’s price benchmarking services come into play. We have invested immense amounts of resources into building our primary and secondary research database, which is used to address company–specific supplier benchmarking needs. Some of the benchmarking areas include peer/competitor benchmarking, process benchmarking, best practices benchmarking, levels of service and categories, KPIs/ success metrics, financial performance, talent management, supplier relationships, and cross-industry price benchmarking and best practices.
