Digital Procurement Technology
Barkers unique digital tools enable organisations to access bespoke and in depth automated insight, and understand their opportunities to lock in value and maximise their insights.
Barkers didn’t come to the table with pre-conceived ideas as to what the solution should look like. They really started to unpick what the actual layers of the problem were. I believe that has been a far more effective way of delivering a successful solution.– Alan Hartley
Improve Your Business Growth:
Step 1
Understand organisational need at a glance with a digital report showing a summary of spend by category, broken down by key aspects such as Division or Supplier. By clicking on each Category or Division, charts will highlight just the relevant information for that channel of spend. You can view data which is ready-categorised for each of your key stakeholder, and we also provide an Executive Summary.
Step 2
Interactive content enables you to explore opportunities to create value for your organisation, and can be used to summarise and present back to key stakeholders – who are then able to interrogate the data and access a detailed overview and market information in text format.
Step 3
Linking to your existing Procurement Sourcing system, we can digitally enable your team to access insight at a glance, from immediate delivery milestones to the value of key categories; within our digital tool you can click on individual stakeholders to understand their immediate needs and priorities.
Step 4
Report on your savings profile over the course of the year in combination with the risk profile for each category, enabling you to anticipate and address any threat to the creation of organisational value.
Step 5
Our digital summary of supplier data allows your team and key stakeholders to access insight digitally and in seconds, ranging from SRM ranking and annual spend, to current media coverage of that supplier – all available in mobile format so you can prepare for meetings on the go.
Based on initial self-assessment supported by Barkers’ expert practitioners, our digital technology demonstrates organisational capability against the Barkers ‘5 Pillars of Excellence’:
- Supplier Relationship Management
- Category Management
- Policies and Procedures
- People and Capability
- Behaviours
This sourcing self-assessment tool allows Procurement Leaders to hone in on areas for improvement, and understand how other modules from our digital suite can support that journey.
Barkers will provide a bespoke procurement hub which enables you to understand organisational need and opportunity, improve planning and execution, manage risk, and improve your Supplier Relationship Management capability. Our demonstration tool below brings this to life.
