Services

Insight and hands-on help across the purchasing process.

PointArcher provides both advisory insight and practical, hands-on services to assist with virtually all elements of the purchasing process.

Purchasing processes

Consistent results come from well defined and deployed processes. Leveraging the full power of your ERP system and/or re-engineering work processes to improve performance are critical to success.

Global sourcing

Who are the "right" suppliers to work with? Are they the best at what they do? Are they aligned with your short and long-term business objectives? Understanding how to answer these questions such that your suppliers are a competitive advantage is critical.

Contract development

Contract terms are decidedly unique to each situation, so creation of language that appropriately mitigates risk while calling out mutually agreeable commercial terms can be tricky. Our expertise can help.

Negotiation

PointArcher provides both negotiation strategy prep and execution services as well as formal training programs for teams.

Supplier development

After awarding business to your key suppliers, it's important that their ability to support your requirements is improved over time. PointArcher can show you how to move to more advanced methods.
