Systematic procurement that ensures you're getting value, not just paying invoices.
The Reality
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 30% above it. Most SMEs waste 5--15% of their procurement spend without knowing it.

It varies by industry and current procurement maturity. Businesses that have never systematically reviewed their suppliers typically find 5--15% in savings across their top 10 spend categories. For a business spending $1M on non-payroll costs, that's $50K--$150K --- often more than the entire Operations Hub subscription.
Never. We provide analysis, benchmarking, and recommendations. You decide whether to act on them. Sometimes the right answer is to stay with your current supplier but negotiate better terms.
If you're spending more than $500K annually on non-payroll costs, procurement management pays for itself. Even a 5% improvement on $500K is $25K --- likely more than your Operations Hub subscription.
As Valont's client base grows, we're building aggregated purchasing power in categories common to SMEs: telecommunications, office supplies, insurance, fleet management, and software licensing. These group rates are available to all clients.
We use supplier databases, industry benchmarks, and direct market research. For major categories, we conduct formal RFQs (request for quotation) to ensure you're seeing competitive options. The goal is informed choice, not forced change.
Long-term relationships have value: reliability, trust, service continuity. We understand that. But even good suppliers need to know they're competitive. A periodic market check keeps everyone honest.
Yes. Supplier consolidation (using fewer suppliers for more categories) can reduce transaction costs and increase negotiating power. We analyse your spend to identify consolidation opportunities.
