PROPROCURE - Marketing Collateral Procurement

As the owner of a multinational brand, you know just how demanding point of purchase can be, from 3D displays to posters and leaflets. Language, cultural and in-store variables all create challenges.

Point of purchase

When sourcing promotional items you place your budget, brand and reputation in the hands of suppliers you rarely communicate with directly. In this challenging category of spend, you naturally want a partner you can trust.

Promotional items

Brand-supporting print can make or break a brand’s reputation. Our latest technology innovation provides an attractive alternative to single sourced print management.

We focus on designing and implementing efficient processes, shortening your time to market and reducing the costs of marketing collateral procurement.

Process efficiency

We start by helping you reduce the price you pay for products or services. Our supplier neutral approach enables you to assess your current suppliers against a selection from our global database.

Product cost

As a global organisation with substantial procurement requirements, you will recognise that ethical and performance-based supplier management is vital.

Supplier management

Creative agency costs represent significant and highly visible spend for many of our clients. As a multinational brand owner you will understand the need for multiple agencies developing individual brands across markets.

Creative agency management

In our view, this is the best solution to the challenges of marketing collateral procurement. Single-source providers stand between your brief and the supplier, increasing the risk to your brand.

Managed multi-source

This outsourcing approach is well established. It has proved effective within areas of direct spend where repeat orders are common and price and compliance can be effectively achieved.

Single-source

Maverick spend is the process whereby local buyers source and purchase marketing collateral outside the preferred process or system.

Maverick spend

Top down mandates from board level often fall on deaf ears in large, complex global organisations. There is also a need for local markets to be self-managed to deal with the unique requirements of their business and cultural environment.

Mandates

Because our solutions are all based on web-enabled software, they are completely scalable. Unlike some single source solutions that make a percentage on the orders put through them, we don’t get involved with supplier billing.

Scalable solutions

Increasing group buying power is likely to be one of your main objectives. Our Demand Aggregator can do just that by giving people throughout your business a powerful forecasting tool.

Demand Aggregator

You will be familiar with the concept of aggregation of orders to reduce product cost. Our system can also capture ‘interest’ on given products globally, giving you management level information on likely demand.

Demand forecast

With brand value firmly established on the balance sheet, protection and risk management have become key objectives.

Brand

Compliance is only possible through an agreed process available to all relevant users. If you are part of a best practice organisation, you will be familiar with QA procedures and the benefits they bring.

Quality assurance

In the increasingly conscience-focused marketplaces of the twenty-first century, more ethical business processes and actions are in ever greater demand.
