Spend Intelligence starts with a current benchmark. Most organisations don't have one. Savings of 5–25%. No win, no fee.
Most organisations are well-run. But without a current benchmark there is no way to know whether spend is competitive, contracts are fair, or suppliers are performing as well as the market allows. Staff turnover makes this worse: people move on, but contracts and suppliers stay. Price increases get accepted without a market check.
Before ERA, Paul held roles at Philips, Dow Chemical and Sanoma. Multinational and local. He understands where spend goes unmanaged, and why.
The work starts with data, not assumptions. First we map spend in the current situation completely. Then we build a benchmark specific to your organisation, your categories, your market. Every benchmark is built for that specific organisation. Not a template. We present concrete options with a clear recommendation. You decide. We execute.
Paul has completed more than 200 projects since 2012, across dozens of clients. Not advisory trajectories. Projects with a clear scope and a measurable result. His focus is implementation. Insight without execution is just a report. Paul stays involved until the savings are real and visible in EBITDA.
Clients typically save between 5 and 25 percent on indirect spend. First results within 13 weeks.
ERA has no financial supplier relationships. No conflicts of interest. No win, no fee. No result, no invoice.
