About us

A services company built by people who have sat on both sides of the table.

One lived with the results as an operating CEO; the other shaped the procurement playbook inside McKinsey. ProcureVenn is where those two vantage points meet.

Who this is for

Three types of companies that perfectly match our model.

Our sweet spot

Real spend, no procurement.

You spend at least $10M a year with suppliers, and purchasing lives off the side of the CFO's or ops leader's desk. Nobody's job is to make that money work harder. This is who we built ProcureVenn for.

A team of one or two, stretched thin.

You have a buyer or a procurement lead covering what should be four jobs. We add the strategy layer above and the extra hands below. Your team stays in charge and gets the credit.

A strong team that wants more horsepower.

You have a great procurement team, but they may be interested in deeper category expertise, better benchmarks, and more hands for the heavy quarters (we see this a lot with PE-backed roll-ups and value-creation plans).

Not sure what you spend? Third-party spend typically runs 30–60% of revenue. If yours is under $2M a year, we may be premature, but it’s still worth connecting to talk through best practices while you grow.

What changes when someone owns procurement.

Industry benchmarks that match what we’ve seen in our two decades of procurement work. And it’s about far more than savings.

8–12%

off the cost base from world-class procurement. Purchasing is about 43% of a typical company’s total costs, and another 2–3% comes off every year after.

Bain & Company

9.2% of revenue

what poor contract management costs the average company, mostly through missed renewals, unenforced terms, and negotiated savings that never get collected.

World Commerce & Contracting

Faster growth

companies that work closely with their suppliers grow faster and are more profitable than their peers, with better quality, innovation, and terms from the supply base.

McKinsey & Company

58% faster

requisition-to-purchase-order cycles at top procurement organizations; sourcing cycles run 24% shorter.

The Hackett Group

45% of EBITDA

what a decade of supply disruptions erases on average. A month-long disruption hits every 3.7 years, and managed suppliers soften the blow.

McKinsey Global Institute

Half never lands

the average savings pipeline loses a third of its value in planning and another 20% in execution. Savings need an owner, or they never reach the P&L.
