The Procure-to-Pay process is how an organisation procures the goods and services it needs to run its business.

SK Supply Base Development & Suppliers Localization

A local supply chain is a network of producers, suppliers, and distributors of goods and services close to the point of consumption. It is the process of sourcing materials, components, and services from local suppliers to meet the needs of a company. This approach enables businesses to reduce costs, achieve faster delivery times, and foster better relationships with suppliers. By localizing of supply chain, businesses can also benefit from increased flexibility and responsiveness to market changes.

Scope of the offered services (also as interim management):

- Data analysis, market search focused on CEE suppliers (SK/CZ/PL)
- Identification of new suppliers
- NDA process
- RFI/RFQ management
- Technical specification analysis & feasibility study validation
- Tender evaluation and equalization
- Supplier qualification and SRM onboarding
- Continuous improvement

RFI, RFQ, RFP Process Outsourcing

Every organisation wants to reduce costs to maximize profitability through standard procurement and sourcing activities.
One of the tools organizations use to find the right supplier or vendor is to issue a Request for Information (RFI), a Request for Quotation (RFQ), and a Request for Proposal (RFP).
While RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs help streamline supply chain activities, it is important to understand the difference between the three so that the company can take the right route based on its needs.

Scope of the service offered:

- Data analysis, market research focused on CEE suppliers (SK/CZ/PL)
- Identification of new suppliers
- NDA process
- RFI/RFQ management
- Technical specification analysis & feasibility study validation
- Tender evaluation and equalisation
- Supplier qualification and SRM onboarding
- Continuous improvement
