Better deals. Better suppliers. Less of your time.

Systematic procurement that ensures you're getting value, not just paying invoices.

The short answer

Procurement & group buying is the systematic sourcing and negotiation of the supplies and services an Australian SME buys — covering spend analysis, supplier benchmarking, contract and renewal management, and access to aggregated group buying power across categories common to SMEs. At Valont it is one function of a connected back office, delivered inside the operations service so supplier decisions stay with you, informed by your Trusted Advisor and your real spend data.

The Reality

Most suppliers are chosen by accident, not by design.

You have a relationship with a supplier because they were the first person to answer the phone five years ago. Or because you got a quote once. Or because the last owner knew the owner. There's rarely a systematic process for evaluating suppliers or benchmarking prices.

And because nobody tracks it, you never know if you're paying market rate or well above it. Without a systematic process, spend quietly drifts above the market without anyone noticing.

Unmanaged procurement costs you:

  • Unchecked waste on supplier spending
  • Contracts renewed on automatic without review
  • No visibility into supplier performance
  • Missing consolidation opportunities
  • Negotiating power left on the table
