  • YCP enables clients to map, benchmark, and optimize supplier networks, fostering data-driven supplier selection and unified standards across borders.

Achieving Cost Efficiency in Fluctuating Markets

Adapting to Evolving Regulatory and Sustainability Demands

  • Frequent updates to EU environmental, trade, and data regulations require procurement teams to update policies and ensure compliance at speed.
  • YCP assists in integrating compliance and sustainability criteria into procurement workflows, reducing risk and accelerating adaptation to new policies.

Optimizing Digitalization and Process Automation

  • Over 70% of European firms report fragmented procurement tech stacks, hindering visibility and slowing process automation across the region.
