Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating the world of procurement can feel like a lot to take on, so it’s completely normal to have questions. We’re big believers in total transparency, which is why we’ve rounded up the things business owners ask us most. Whether you’re curious about how the ‘fractional’ model works or if your business is at the right stage for us to help, we’ve got you covered. Take a look below—we want you to feel informed and confident about our next steps together.
How do I know if we are ready for procurement support?
If you are spending more time managing supplier issues than growing your business, or if your "tail spend" is becoming unmanageable, you’re ready. Most of our clients reach out when they realize that "doing it themselves" is costing more in missed savings and lost time than the cost of our service.
Are we too small for your services?
Not at all. We specifically designed Procureable Solutions for SMEs. While large corporations have internal teams, we bring that same level of expertise to smaller businesses in a way that is affordable, scalable, and focused on your specific growth stage.
What exactly is "Fractional Procurement"?
Think of it as "Procurement-as-a-Service." You get access to a senior-level procurement lead for a set number of hours or days per month. It provides the strategic oversight of a full-time hire at a fraction of the cost, giving you flexibility as your business needs fluctuate.
How quickly will we see a return on investment?
While every business is different, many of our Strategic Sourcing projects identify enough savings in the first 90 days to more than cover our fees. Our goal is always to ensure that our partnership is a self-funding investment, not an overhead.
