Agree the starting cost
Before work begins, agree the purchases, period, volumes and costs being compared. Record changes in demand, quality and scope so they are not mistaken for savings.
ProcureLabs® — the autonomous procurement function
A possible saving is not money saved. We agree the starting cost, follow the work through and ask finance to check the actual result.
Before work begins, agree the purchases, period, volumes and costs being compared. Record changes in demand, quality and scope so they are not mistaken for savings.
A finding or supplier proposal is a possible result. An outcome fee depends on an agreed, completed result, such as money received or a lower cost confirmed in actual purchases.
Keep the invoices, payments, contracts or credits supporting the amount. Finance checks the result and its connection to the work before a fee is charged.
Agree the measurement period and which work caused the result. Count one-off recoveries once. Exclude disputed amounts, unrelated changes and benefits already counted elsewhere.
Agree the monthly platform fee, the outcome share, which results qualify and how disagreements are handled. The calculator uses your proposed fees; it does not set a price.
Estimated benefits = annual purchasing spend × estimated savings rate + estimated one-off recovery. Annual platform fees = monthly fee × 12. Estimated outcome fees = estimated benefits × proposed outcome share. Value after fees = estimated benefits − both fees. Time saved is reported separately and is not counted as cash savings.
