How can you improve the performance of your procurement and supply chains?
Drawing on the long-standing procurement expertise of our By.O team, the Cubik Group supports procurement departments in implementing their performance plans to generate cost savings, reduce expenses, and improve the company’s overall financial performance.
Our approach is based on strategic spend optimization, enhanced collaboration with suppliers, and the integration of procurement levers into the value chain. By working across their entire ecosystems, we help our clients transform their procurement into a true driver of competitiveness and value creation.
Procurement as a Lever for Value Creation
Purchasing departments are under the spotlight of senior management as they are expected to handle an ever-increasing range of responsibilities. The goals are numerous and ambitious, the demands are growing ever more stringent (local sourcing, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, etc.), and the resources available to the Purchasing Department are, at best, holding steady amid an increasingly uncertain environment…
There are still many opportunities for cost savings to be realized within companies. The goal of procurement departments is no longer simply to be the most efficient procurement function, but to make the entire company efficient in its procurement efforts while playing a vital role in the company’s internal and external transformations.
Why launch a procurement performance plan?
Today, procurement is no longer limited to a simple support function—it has become a strategic lever for boosting your company’s overall performance. Launching a procurement performance plan means measuring, securing, and optimizing overall performance, while aligning this function with your organization’s economic, operational, and non-financial challenges.
By strengthening procurement’s contribution to value creation—whether through cost optimization, improving supplier quality, or integrating CSR criteria—you highlight its impact within the company. The result: greater recognition of the procurement function, increased visibility of its results, and enhanced competitiveness across all your business units.
Our Approach to Procurement Performance
In a constantly evolving environment—economic, ecological, digital, geopolitical, and human—all organizations need to develop new models or rethink their existing ones in order to differentiate themselves or safeguard their operations.
The challenges and strategic directions set by senior management may vary widely, but they all share one common thread: the ability to select the most relevant actions to implement in order to achieve objectives.
Today, every organization needs to cooperate in order to operate . This means establishing appropriate relationships with every stakeholder in its ecosystem (partners, suppliers, and even entire supply chains).
For over 20 years, our team (formerly By.O Group) has developed unique expertise in enhancing and securing the performance and sustainability of organizations through the structuring of tailored cooperative relationships.
