Procurement Expertise

Case Study

We worked with Roche International’s Middle East Division providing coaching and mentoring for their procurement team over an 8-month period. We provided insight about the procurement function, relating theory, matrices, and categories with practical examples, helping to make some of the complex concepts easy to understand and apply across the countries.

 

We delivered coaching sessions that were informative and ensured relevance to the team’s daily operations, equipping the team with tools and insights needed to excel within their roles, boosting confidence and efficiency.

 

The client stated they would recommend Twisted Orange to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and effective procurement coach.

Category management Training

Case Study

We supported Kindred with a Category Management training session, with feedback that the value in the organisation has been "huge and there has been a clear change in approach to how we optimise category management since the training".

 

We were then invited to implement supplier relationship management improvements which resulted in a structured approach to value realisation for the business and a team that successfully delivered.

​

Our client commented on how we ‘always provide another angle, another option when overcoming the typical procurement frustrations’. 

Supply Chain Logistics

Case Study

Andy joined Clarks in a period when the business was experiencing significant change and needed to reduce spiralling logistics costs. By renegotiating supplier and partner contracts Andy was a major factor towards achieving savings in excess of seven figures.

 

Alongside this Clarks had a record-breaking year as we ensured none of the renegotiation would risk the service levels or impact operational performance.
