Executive Report & Strategic Recommendations
Key findings and strategic recommendations
This assessment evaluates procurement maturity across six core dimensions using a proprietary framework benchmarked against 2,400+ organizations. Your organization demonstrates strengths in spend analytics foundations but has significant opportunities in contract management and strategic sourcing.
Detailed scoring across six core procurement capabilities
Organizations at this level have foundational procurement processes but lack the strategic integration and advanced capabilities of mature procurement functions.
Your overall score of 2.7 places you in the 42nd percentile among manufacturing companies with $500M-$1B revenue. Top quartile performers in your industry average a score of 3.8, indicating significant room for improvement through targeted initiatives.
Priority improvement opportunities ranked by impact potential
No centralized contract repository. Renewal dates tracked manually in spreadsheets. $2.1M in auto-renewed contracts at unfavorable terms last year.
Only 25% of spend has documented category strategies. Ad-hoc sourcing for 75% of categories leads to fragmented supplier base and missed savings.
No standardized supplier scorecards. Performance issues identified reactively. Top 50 suppliers represent 68% of spend with no formal QBRs.
22% of addressable spend outside preferred agreements. P-card transactions lack category-level controls. Approval workflows not enforced consistently.
