Key Challenges We Address

Unlocking Visibility Across Complex Supplier Networks

Over 65% of indirect procurement in Japan remains fragmented across multiple teams, limiting spend visibility and control for large organizations.
Leveraging robust spend analytics, YCP centralizes tail spend data and creates actionable transparency, empowering firms to identify savings opportunities.

Streamlining Cumbersome and Siloed Procurement Processes

Manual PO processing and isolated purchasing practices cause delays and errors, leading to missed deadlines and mounting administrative workload.
YCP optimizes workflows by designing unified procurement platforms, reducing manual input, and enabling seamless collaboration among departments.

Ensuring Regulatory and Compliance Consistency

Japanese firms face increased regulatory scrutiny, with frequent policy changes and the risk of non-compliance costing millions annually.
By standardizing procurement practices, YCP embeds compliance checks and audit trails into every transaction to safeguard against regulatory lapses.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
