Ensuring success with your sourcing agenda

Succeeding with your sourcing agenda is challenging. You need to secure commitment from top management, build an appropriate organisation, set up the proper commodity strategies, ensure involvement from the divisions, and create a way of measuring and communicating the results. IBX does not only provide the best possible tool to support your complete sourcing process, we also have extensive experience from many years of sourcing and work to a well-documented sourcing best practice. This includes methodology, templates and recommended sourcing strategy per commodity area. 

IBX Sourcing services are designed to accelerate knowledge transfer through a phase-driven approach that allows companies to enter the IBX model depending on their experience. The model gradually transfers knowledge from IBX to the organisation, allowing companies to leverage IBX best practice methodologies.

Our experience from several corporate-wide implementation programmes enables us to help our clients to succeed with their purchasing transformation.

• Experience clearly shows that the introduction of eSourcing must be carefully planned and supported to ensure adoption
• Many companies fail due to insufficient support to the sourcing organisation and to the buyers during the adoption phase
• IBX has extensive experience in assisting clients managing the necessary change program
• The IBX Change Management model ensures fast track knowledge transfer and enables customers to become self-sufficient in a complete organisation roll-out.
• The objective for a source program is to change the current sourcing practice into a new state where modern tools and processes are used as a natural part of the strategic sourcing process

IBX also provides traditional sourcing services including spend analysis, sourcing strategy, sourcing organisation, sourcing process, performance measurement, analysis and sourcing management.
