Typical Procurement Challenges

Benefits of Procurement Optimization

Cost Reductions

Organizations achieve an average 12% reduction in procurement costs through strategic sourcing and improved conditions. These cost savings enhance the organization’s ability to reinvest in innovation and growth while reinforcing resilience against market fluctuations. Stronger supplier relationships and more competitive pricing further strengthen procurement’s strategic impact.

Improved Operational Efficiency

valantic delivers up to a 30% increase in process and organizational efficiency by eliminating redundancies and introducing automation. This enables procurement teams to shift focus from transactional to strategic tasks, improving overall productivity, reducing errors, and accelerating cycle times. The resulting agility helps teams respond more effectively to internal and external demands, positioning procurement as a driver of transformation.

Accelerated Lead Times

valantic’s solutions enable faster access to high-quality data, reducing lead times by up to 75%. This speeds up decision-making, enhances procurement agility, and improves the company’s responsiveness to changing market conditions and customer needs. Shorter lead times result in better supply chain synchronization and more efficient operations.

Reduced Time to Market

End-to-end digitalization of procurement processes — from demand capture to order fulfillment — can reduce time to market by as much as 80%. This acceleration allows companies to launch products, services, and innovations more quickly, strengthening their competitive position. At the same time, operational efficiency and productivity increase, supporting revenue growth and profitability.

Enhanced Risk Management and Compliance

valantic’s digital solutions support regulatory compliance, help conduct supplier due diligence, and mitigate risks associated with supply disruptions and compliance breaches. Companies benefit from lower costs related to non-compliance and supplier failure, as well as more stable and efficient operations. Streamlined compliance processes also reduce administrative burden and improve audit readiness.
