Dear Procurement Professional,

If spend analysis has ever been an issue for you,  or if getting procurement information is like extracting teeth, I'd like to invite you to spend a productive morning with me, where I will:

Show you the "secret" tools that consultants and CA's use to come up with all their fancy tables and graphs.
These Microsoft goodies have been available since before 1997, and yet most procurement professionals do not know how to use them properly.

I will demonstrate how to do complex analysis, that sometimes take days and weeks to complete, in a flash. (Literally in seconds!)

Usually when procurement is looking for a non-standard report, it has to go to wait for ages until the internal (or is that infernal?) IT department has produced it.  And there's also waiting in the queue  for everybody else to get their data as well! Usually once you get the data, you realise that you wanted to know something else as well!! And then its back into queue!

I will show you how to have incredible flexibility in defining what reports you want and how to obtain them NOW and not LATER when its too late!

We will go through examples of spend analysis and complete them before you've even told your secretary what to tell internal IT!

You probably also have issues with BAD INFORMATION. We'll go through methods on how to make the most with incorrectly codified and classified procurement data!

In fact, after you've attended the breakfast session, you'll be able to get your spend analysis set up and done BEFORE IT comes back with the report you asked for last week!!

Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's understandable. Let me give you three good reasons why I can back up what we claim:

Three Reasons To Believe What I Say

Reason one: We have trained and consulted to many leading local and international organisations (both private and public) such as:

ABSA Bank, Afrox , African Defense Systems, Holcim South Africa, Anglo American, Appletizer, Arrivia.Kom, Aspen Pharmacare, Bayside Aluminium, BHP Billiton, Bidvest, BP, Buffalo City Municipality, Bureau of Economic Research, Cape Provincial Treasury, Caltex Oil, Cell C City Power, Cape Technicon, Comair, Dept of Correctional Services, Department of Health, DNA Supply Chain, Drake and Scull, Eskom Generation, Eskom Distribution, Fedics , First National Bank, Gauteng Shared Service Centre, Grintek Telecom, Hewlett Packard, Hexagon Business Solutions, Hillside Aluminium, National Treasury, Lever Brothers, Mondi, Murray and Roberts, National Brands, PASASA, Promat , Protea Chemicals, Premier Foods, Rand Water, RUC, South African Correctional Services Management, South African Airways, SASOL Mining, SASOL Nitro, SASOL Synfuels, SAIL, Shell, SITA, Sappi, South African Breweries, South African Defense Force, South African Airways (SAA), South African Port Operations, Siemens, Trans Hex, TSEBO Outsourcing, University of Cape Town, University of Stellenbosch, University of Westville Durban, Uthingo Management, Western Cape Education and various others.

Reason two:

Most of our customers rate us as being either “Very Good” or “Excellent” with many of them attending our other courses once the’ve attended the first one

Reason three:

We will provide a 100 % Iron-clad MoneyBack Guarantee. If you aren't satisfied with the session, just tell us afterwards  and we'll refund 100% of your purchase price. No questions asked. In fact breakfast will be on the house! We only ask that you return the manual!

 Here is a summary of the
benefits you receive

In a SHORT morning session you will learn tools and tips that will save your staff and yourself many days, if not weeks in the years to come!

  • We will go through a step by step approach to analyzing the spend using Microsoft Excel Pivot Tables and other Excel tools.

  • We will provide you with a detailed reference manual for using these

  • You will receive a comprehensive Electronic File with sample reports using sample procurement information, that you can use

  • Using actual sample procurement information, we will extract reports that procurement can use for the following applications:

  • Strategic Sourcing and Commodity management. If you are about to embark on strategic sourcing or if you're a commodity manager about to start optimising an area of the spend, these tools will be crucial

  • Asking questions such as Who spent What with Which Suppliers and When is easily answered.

  • Analysis of transactions - per supplier, per division, below certain values or transaction trends can be quickly obtained.

  • How to do instant" Supplier Bid evaluation

  • How to compare prices between various parts of your organisation instantly!

  • Even if your information is not properly categorised, we'll go through methods to make sense of BAD Information!

Please note: This session is NOT intended for individuals who already have extensive experience in these type of tools!
