Key Challenges We Address

Unlocking Value in Fragmented Supplier Bases

Many UK companies face high admin costs due to fragmented suppliers, with over 70% of transactions representing just 5% of spend.
Through supplier rationalisation and category expertise, YCP consolidates spend, streamlining procurement processes and reducing operational costs.

Improving Visibility and Control Over Indirect Spend

Limited spend visibility causes maverick buying and compliance issues, with nearly 45% of tail spend lacking central oversight in the UK.
With advanced analytics, YCP enables real-time spend monitoring, helping finance and procurement teams regain control and drive policy adherence.

Driving Savings Without Disrupting Core Operations

Cost-saving opportunities in tail spend are often overlooked as focus remains on strategic suppliers, missing out on 10–15% savings potential.
YCP delivers targeted cost optimisation programs for tail categories, finding savings and ensuring seamless business continuity for core operations.

Enhancing Supplier Performance and Risk Management

Supplier risk in tail spend remains high, with 30% of suppliers in the UK failing to meet standard performance metrics.
YCP applies rigorous supplier evaluation and risk monitoring, elevating tail supplier performance and minimising business exposure efficiently.
