Optimisation & Value Realisation
Keep improving. Realise more value.
More control over performance, better use of technology and continuous process improvement. With our optimisation services, we show you where the opportunities lie and deliver concrete results.
Improve where the most value can be realised.
Optimisation starts with insight into what works well and where improvement is possible. We look at the whole picture of processes, people, data and technology. Drawing on our S2P expertise, we help you identify and prioritise improvement opportunities, support their delivery and make results measurable.
Why Spendlinq for optimisation & value realisation.
Three reasons why our expertise delivers lasting improvement and a better return.
An integrated view of S2P
Our experts look across the entire S2P process to assess improvement opportunities in context and determine where optimisation delivers the most value.
From insight to improvement
We don’t stop at analyses and advice. We help you prioritise and deliver improvements, from process and configuration to usage and adoption.
Steering on value
Your objectives and desired results are our starting point. With insight into performance, usage and realised benefits, we show where value is being delivered and where improvement is possible.
Functional Management & Support
Continuity and control in day-to-day management.
Our consultants support the day-to-day functional management of your solution. From user questions and incidents to changes in workflows, roles and authorisations. That keeps the environment running reliably and aligned with day-to-day practice.
When is this relevant?
When you need structural support for the functional management of your solution. For example, when internal capacity or specific knowledge is lacking, users need support or functional questions and changes keep evolving.
What we do
- Functional support for users and key users
- Analysis and resolution of functional questions and incidents
- Management of workflows, roles and authorisations
- Coordination of functional changes
- Liaison with software suppliers and other parties involved
- Support for the internal management organisation.
What it delivers
- Continuity in day-to-day use
- Fast, knowledgeable support for questions and bottlenecks
- A configuration that stays aligned with processes and users
- Control over functional changes
- S2P knowledge safeguarded within the management organisation.
Release Management
Make use of new functionality in a controlled and purposeful way.
S2P technology is constantly evolving. We assess which new functionality is relevant to your organisation, map the impact and guide the introduction. That way you can use new capabilities without needlessly disrupting processes and users.
When is this relevant?
When your S2P supplier regularly releases new functionality or changes and you want to stay in control of their impact. Or when you want to make better use of what new releases can mean for your processes and users.
What we do
- Assess releases and new functionality
- Determine relevance and impact for processes and users
- Prepare functional changes
- Guide testing and acceptance
- Prepare users for relevant changes.
What it delivers
- Control over new releases and changes
- Better use of available functionality
- Less risk and disruption when changes are made
- New capabilities that add value in a targeted way.
Continuous Improvement
Continuously improving processes, data and configuration.
Our experts can systematically map where improvement is possible within the S2P domain. Based on performance, data, user experience and changing needs, we determine where the biggest opportunities lie and translate them into concrete improvement initiatives.
When is this relevant?
If processes or configuration turn out not to work optimally in practice, improvement requests are piling up or new needs are emerging. Also if you want to keep improving systematically and get more value from your S2P processes.
What we do
- Identify improvement potential within the S2P process
- Analyse processes, data and functional configuration
- Investigate bottlenecks and underlying causes
- Draw up an improvement portfolio and roadmap
- Prioritise improvement initiatives
- Guide the delivery and results of improvements.
What it delivers
- A structured approach to improvement
- Clear priorities based on impact and value
- Better processes and data quality
- Less inefficiency and fewer unnecessary manual actions
- An S2P organisation that keeps growing with new needs.
Adoption & Optimisation
More value by optimising processes and technology.
Even in an existing S2P environment, adoption still needs attention. We show how processes are followed and functionality is used, where this falls short and what is holding users back. Based on that, we deploy targeted actions to improve usage, user experience and utilisation.
When is this relevant?
If processes and technology aren’t being used the way you want. For example, when processes are bypassed, functionality is underused or there are clear differences between departments or user groups.
What we do
- Gather feedback from users and key users
- Analyse usage and adoption
- Investigate differences between user groups
- Identify barriers in usage and user experience
- Deploy targeted adoption and optimisation activities
- Track the effect on usage and adoption.
What it delivers
- Better, more consistent use of processes and available functionality
- Fewer workarounds and unwanted process variants
- A better user experience
- More value from your existing S2P environment.
KPIs & Value Measurement
From performance to insight into realised value.
Our experts make performance in your S2P process visible, along with the extent to which objectives and expected benefits are being realised. Relevant KPIs and measurement points create a factual basis for steering and prioritising improvements.
When is this relevant?
If you want to know whether the intended results are being achieved and where there is still room for improvement. For example around usage, compliance, lead times, contract utilisation, savings or efficiency.
What we do
- Make objectives and desired value concrete
- Define KPIs and measurement points
- Assess available data and reports
- Make performance, usage and adoption visible
- Analyse realised benefits and deviations
- Evaluate periodically and adjust course.
What it delivers
- Insight into performance and realised value
- A factual basis for further optimisation
- Visibility of deviations from objectives
- More targeted prioritisation of improvement initiatives
- Better justification for new investments.
Flexible capacity
An S2P specialist when you need one.
Not every organisation has the S2P expertise it needs in house on a permanent basis. We temporarily strengthen your organisation with experienced S2P professionals when you need specific knowledge or extra capacity. For example for administration, optimisation, an improvement programme or to fill a key role temporarily.
When is this relevant?
If you need extra capacity temporarily, lack specialist knowledge or need to fill a key role for a while. For example during peak workloads, absence, an optimisation project or while your internal organisation is still being built up.
What we do
- Flexible deployment of experienced S2P professionals
- Functional and operational support
- Filling specialist roles
- Support for improvement and optimisation projects
- Transfer of knowledge to internal employees
- Temporary deployment tailored to your needs and duration.
What it delivers
- Quick access to S2P expertise
- Continuity when you have a temporary need for capacity or knowledge
- Flexibility without permanently expanding the team
- Knowledge transfer and a stronger internal organisation.
