Key Challenges We Address

Unlocking Visibility in Fragmented Supplier Networks

Many Asian firms struggle with thousands of unchecked low-value suppliers, leading to poor spend visibility and hidden costs across regions.
Through robust analytics and tailored dashboards, YCP empowers clients to consolidate supplier data, enhancing transparency and informed decision-making.

Reducing Maverick Spend and Process Inefficiency

Unapproved buying outside established procurement channels is common, with over 20% of tail spend falling outside standard processes, raising compliance risks.
YCP streamlines purchasing with digital tools and best-practice controls, helping organizations minimize off-contract spend and increase compliance.

Driving Cost Savings Amid Currency Volatility

Frequent, small transactions in multiple currencies expose companies to hidden fees and unfavorable exchange rates, eroding potential savings.
With advanced spend categorization and negotiation strategies, YCP uncovers cost-saving opportunities and cushions against currency-related losses.

Optimizing Resource Allocation in Lean Procurement Teams

Procurement teams in Asia often face high workloads, dedicating up to 70% of time to manual tail spend processes, diverting focus from strategic initiatives.
YCP enables automation and actionable frameworks, freeing teams to drive higher-value projects while maintaining control over tail spend categories.
