Key Challenges We Address

Driving Cost Efficiency Through Tail Spend Visibility

Many European organizations struggle to track and analyze fragmented tail spend, with up to 20% of total spend unmanaged across multiple suppliers.
Leveraging advanced analytics and digital tools, YCP uncovers hidden tail spend to deliver transparency, empowering smarter sourcing and cost control.

Reducing Supplier and Contractual Complexity

Managing thousands of low-value suppliers leads to exceeded budgets, duplicated purchases, and increased contractual risks for businesses in Europe.
YCP consolidates supplier bases and streamlines contracts, minimizing administrative burden while driving compliance and value across tail spend categories.

Improving Procurement Process Integration and Compliance

Disjointed processes and manual approvals can cause policy non-compliance, delayed orders, and maverick spend, especially within decentralized teams.
Through digital workflow integration, YCP helps clients embed policy controls and automate approvals, sharply increasing compliance and operational efficiency.

Unlocking Savings Through Strategic Tail Spend Initiatives

Tail spend represents an area where up to 15% in lost savings persist due to neglected negotiation and lack of category management focus.
By applying category expertise and executing targeted sourcing events, YCP enables organizations to realize untapped savings in their tail spend portfolios.
