Supply Synergies’ Opportunity Analysis (OA) service provides an evaluation of a company’s category profile both quantitatively (spend analysis) and qualitatively (opportunity assessment). Conducted side by side for any or all categories, these analyses are extremely effective for prioritization and planning from cost reduction, risk mitigation, and scalability purposes.

We use an in-house process that will provide you the knowledge and understanding of your category profile allowing you to maximize all three of these critical business factors. Our simple OA process will also leave you with a better taxonomy structure and spend management capability for the future.

Supply Synergies is second to none for breaking apart and deeply analyzing category profiles of any type. See how our OA process works by using the Spend Analysis and Opportunity Assessment buttons below.
