With a decade of experience and a hands-on support approach, YCP ensures effective management strategies tailored to meet each client's unique needs.

Key Challenges We Address

Complex Supplier Networks and Fragmented Procurement

Chinese enterprises handle vast supplier bases, causing tail spend fragmentation that leads to unmanaged costs and missed savings opportunities.
By centralizing supplier evaluation and spend analytics, YCP enables teams to gain visibility, consolidating procurement channels for greater control and efficiency.

Lack of Category-Specific Strategies for Indirect Spend

Most companies in China lack tailored approaches for indirect categories, resulting in spend leakage and limited leverage during supplier negotiations.
Leveraging local insights and category expertise, YCP helps teams build targeted strategies to optimize indirect spend portfolios and drive measurable reductions.

Technology Gaps and Limited Spend Transparency

Manual, disconnected procurement processes result in incomplete spend data, hindering both compliance and the identification of saving areas.
With digital implementation and custom dashboards, YCP empowers leaders to monitor spend in real time, ensuring compliant and data-driven procurement decisions.

Internal Alignment and Stakeholder Engagement Barriers

Cross-functional misalignment persists, as procurement, finance, and business units often lack a unified approach to managing low-value purchases.
Fostering stakeholder collaboration, YCP facilitates workshops and hands-on support to embed standardized, efficient processes across all relevant teams.
