Supply Base Development
The Corcentric process develops a secure and responsive supply base that is capable of providing quality, delivery, costs, technologies, flexibility and services to meet your current and future business needs — whatever your size or industry.
Cost Reduction Initiatives
Our Strategic Sourcing process starts with benchmarking your current spend against the marketplace, as well as spend analysis, supplier identification and qualification, strategic sourcing event management, supplier negotiations, and process/compliance improvement, including e-Sourcing and Procure-to-Pay solutions as appropriate.
Category Management
Since 1992, we’ve built a database of price points covering hundreds of categories. Our goal is to help you obtain savings faster while improving all qualitative aspects of supplier relationships. You have the flexibility of choosing Corcentric’s fee-for-service model, or you can lower your risk by choosing a contingency based (gain sharing) plan.
