In today’s dynamic business landscape, collaboration stands as a cornerstone of success. At SDI, we pride ourselves on forging strategic partnerships that drive innovation and efficiency in procurement and supply chain management. Our recent feature in CPOstrategy magazine highlights the impactful collaboration between SDI and Arxada, underscoring our commitment to transforming indirect procurement.
Empowering Arxada through Strategic Partnership
Our alliance with Arxada exemplifies how innovative procurement strategies can unlock value in previously overlooked categories, delivering substantial cost savings and service improvements. By providing access to pre-negotiated contracts and established supplier relationships, we have significantly reduced procurement cycles and consolidated purchasing efforts, leading to measurable reductions in indirect spend.
Miriam Achour, our Vice President Member Ambassadors, emphasizes the tailored operational support we offer to address resource gaps:
“We ensure a seamless procurement execution and onboarding plan, providing Arxada with greater visibility and control over their spend.”
Addressing Challenges with Expertise
Arxada faced challenges with limited internal resources for sourcing and found traditional Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) inadequate for their needs. At SDI, we augmented their resources by acting as an extension of their procurement platform, offering expertise and additional bandwidth to execute sourcing strategies effectively. Our approach goes beyond traditional GPO models by incorporating strategic cost management, supplier development, and process optimization, aligning closely with Arxada’s objectives.
Driving Innovation and Future Success
With over 50 years of experience, SDI brings extensive knowledge to our partnerships, offering clients like Arxada access to innovation and enhanced visibility into market trends. This collaboration not only addresses immediate procurement challenges but also positions Arxada for sustained success in an ever-evolving industry landscape.
The success of our partnership with Arxada serves as a blueprint for future collaborations, demonstrating the potential of strategic alliances in transforming procurement functions. At SDI, we remain dedicated to empowering organizations to achieve operational excellence through innovative and collaborative procurement solutions.
