OPTIPEDIA
Providing digital levers to help you understand, and beat escalating material costs
Designed to help you gain the understanding and the visibility of
the "Should Cost" and link the business function to optimise costs.
WHAT IS OPTIPEDIA
Optipedia is an online collaboration platform between supply chain partners that share processes and information to achieve mutually beneficial goals. It helps manage the multiplication of relationship and touch points to improve business performance in product development, new product introduction, sourcing and manufacturing functions through should-cost modelling as well as coordination and planning of resources and processes between you and your suppliers. This results in less wastage, better margins and lower costs for all parties.

How We Acquire Data
To get a base level understanding of how your price is made up, we can obtain existing data that you have from your system. This will give you a high level overview of your materials, manufacturing, logistics, waste and profit. Data gathered from your supply base will give you a sub-structural cost level, to evaluate unique materials, fixed and variable costs to packaging and logistics routing. To be in full control of understanding your price, data collected from a supplier eco system will be required. This will give you access to fixed and variable process KPI's and A.I. development of profit.

Procurement Digitalisation
Case Study
Background of Client
Client is a large MNC with multiple suppliers and manufacturing plants worldwide. They were using multiple SAP systems that did not give sufficient visibility of their aggregated and granular spend. There were large price variance for the production of the same product at different locations and the procurement team was unable to challenge prices with suppliers to achieve cost saving.
​

What We Did For Them
