If you’re looking for long-term investments for your business and need help in streamlining your procurement solutions, then Afrivaar Global Solutions would be the ideal firm for you.

We got them as an investment procurement adviser and we’ve been happy with how they strategize our business for us.

If you think that they will just sit one day and connect you to vendors and suppliers, well, spoiler alert: they make time to understand your business goals and how you envision its growth, which eventually allows them to curate long-term procurement opportunities.

Our most favorite part was that they’re great when it comes to scalability. So no matter how small your business is right now, they’re ready to face more complex purchasing as your business grows.

From day one, we love how they treated it like a long-term partnership. You’ll love that they will never judge even the smallest businesses out there.

In fact, they have the reputation of expanding supplier networks outside Brisbane, specifically in Asia and Africa.

The best part is that Afrivaar Global Solutions won’t overcomplicate business strategies and solutions. You can expect them to hand you practical advice, with a full list of risks alongside it.

Flawless execution

“We love your services and the way you conducted yourselves during the entire business process. We will definitely continue to use your company. Thanks.”

For big corporations that require more strict procurement solutions, Kearney Australia has been one of the go-to names here in the country. So if you’re also experiencing supply chain issues, then it’s time to seek their help.

We’re quite sure some of the businesses out there were skeptical about bringing in a procurement advisor, but sourcing out vendors and having frequent negotiations would get messy at one point, especially if you’re also planning to expand.

That’s what happened to the retail company I once worked with. We loved how this procurement firm was able to pin down the main issue in the supply chain, helping the company juggle in between vendor contracts.

So don’t get intimidated when we say big corporations, as you don’t need to be one of the Fortune 500 companies to seek their assistance. Well, you may be on your way to being one after this!

During the initial meeting, make sure to have one representative from each department so the procurement team can map out the best strategies for you.

We love how they make their strategies and solutions so adaptable, allowing our company to adjust as our requirements grow larger along the way.

In fact, they helped us redesign the old one, telling us that they really evaluate what’s working and what’s not.

The best part is that the company started to collaborate and align more. So if you want to lessen those finger-pointing moments you have in your team, then here’s your sign!

Collaborative team

“Great place to work”

If you’re handling major infrastructure projects and need assistance in sourcing out the best suppliers and contractors out there, you may want to check out Acquire Insights. 

What’s great about them is that they have extensive knowledge and experience across different sectors such as mining, utilities, and government.

We love that they’ve worked with big names such as the University of Southern Queensland, Knauf, and Newcrest Mining, which made it a lot easier to trust them completely.

We recently started a large infrastructure project, and we experienced overpaying at the beginning. While we were well aware, we had no idea how to renegotiate because of an existing contract.

Good thing Acquire Insights was there to remedy that. They were able to determine the contract details that could be renegotiated, which we never even thought was possible.

Additionally, they were able to give us a shortlist of suppliers that they think would be able to support us more when it comes to our business goals.

You can also let them review your financial flow, especially if you want to make sure how well your budget is performing in a certain budget. They can even help you save up on a big chunk, which will allow you to use it on other projects.

Moreover, if you need help when it comes to contractor delays, these procurement guys will be able to match you with the list of vendors that can deliver.

Professional staff

“Great level of professionalism and consultation”

The moment we encountered problems with one of our key suppliers, we knew we needed help in reviewing contracts. We had to renew the contract, but we noticed that the prices were climbing, and we weren’t too happy with the vendor’s recent services.

We honestly didn’t know which parts of the contract to review exactly, so we reached out to August Consulting, as we had no idea if a negotiation is still the best route for this project.

What we liked most about them is that they let us continue with our business. Yes, this procurement team will let you focus on your existing operations while they work their magic on your transition.

Be ready to give them all your current vendors, including those that you’ve tapped in the last few years. You should also be ready to provide them all the transaction invoices as they need to review this during their evaluation.

However, this step could be a little challenging, especially if you have a lot of paperworks to revisit. This may also cost some disruption to various departments, which could affect your operations.

Even with limited briefing, we were surprised when they pointed out some of the line items that they thought we overpaid over the years.

And before making a decision, we love how they walked us through all the pros and cons, which made us think that they’re after more practical solutions.

Adds better value to portfolios

“Tracey and her team have provided good value within my executive portfolio. She is pleasant to work with and I would hire her again.”

We first heard about Procurement Co Pty Ltd when our sister told us about a big infrastructure project she was managing. Since she was dealing with loads of contracts, this procurement firm saved her from drowning in paperwork.

They’re known to work well with large private organizations and government sectors, so if you’re also working with projects like government-funded programs, it would be best to tap them right away.

No need to worry about familiarizing yourself with the different protocols. Well, it wouldn’t hurt to educate yourself, but at least someone’s there to dive deeper on the policies just for you! 

We noticed that these guys review the contract thoroughly. They made sure to check if there are possible loopholes or gaps that you haven’t noticed, before you even lock your signature in.

If you want to negotiate with your vendors better, you can also ask them to revisit and rewrite your contracts. You’ll love how they made certain clauses much clearer, ensuring better negotiations or renegotiations in the future.

Another thing that we love about this procurement firm is that they provide training workshops. Here, your team can work more efficiently, making better decisions moving forward.

It’s worth noting, however, that their process seems to be a little structured. So if you need a more customized or even flexible process, you may want to consider other firms instead.
