Reduce costs and improve profitability. These are undoubtedly the goals at the top of every executive and procurement manager’s priority list. Achieving these goals is a challenge every procurement group struggles with on a daily basis.   Throughout virtually all manufacturing sectors, these challenges run across many departments ranging from finance to operations, procurement, engineering, marketing, R&D, and logistics. Effective procurement requires management of significant resources, technology, and processes.  Achieving these goals is complicated by raw material and packaging material cost increases, increasingly complicated supply chain logistics, global sourcing, as well as expanding environmental pressures and the need for improved sustainability.

In today’s economy, an ill-timed lapse in risk management, or an underperforming supplier can significantly impact a company’s success. The stakes related to managing costs are higher than ever. Simply put, no business can afford to operate without full control over its costs and assurance that every possible savings available has been identified and implemented. That’s what the solutions and services of Provident Spend Management provide. We specialize in helping consumer packaged goods and general manufacturing companies attain maximized savings while improving service levels across Raw Material, Packaging, and Indirect Supplies.

Our services are designed to be quantifiable and focused on auditable results. In most engagements, we have a contingency fee structure where we do not receive the majority of our payment until real savings have been attained. This means an almost immediate ROI. We can be confident in this delivery because in order to be the best, we have hired the best. Our team is comprised entirely of senior procurement, packaging engineering and supply chain executives that understand the daily job pressures and challenges that can hinder successful spend initiatives. These specialists maintain a high level of activity as thought leaders and experts in the industry allowing us to stay on top of major trends and innovations, while making the most comprehensive perspectives, techniques and benchmarking expertise available to you.

Above all else, the Provident team brings the highest level of integrity and transparency to our services, which instills a sense of trust in our clients.
