Your PO desk, inside your own ERP, run by a named team in India and the Middle East.

It means handing the administration of your purchase orders to an outside team. Requisition intake, PO creation and issuance, approval chasing, supplier acknowledgement, amendments and cancellations, and linking each PO back to the goods receipt.
Raising a purchase order is quick. What takes the week is everything after it. Did the supplier actually see it. Did they accept the price, or come back with a different one. The quantity changed, so the PO needs amending and re-approving. The goods arrived but nobody booked the receipt, so the invoice cannot match. Three people have the approval sitting in an inbox. None of that is difficult work. It is just relentless, and it belongs to whoever has time, which usually means nobody owns it.
Approval authority, supplier selection and commercial terms stay with you. We prepare, issue and chase. We do not decide who you buy from, or agree a price on your behalf.
The Hackett Group projects procurement workload rising 9.8 percent in a year when procurement headcount grows 1.0 percent. That is an 8.8 point productivity gap, and it does not close by asking a lean team to try harder. Median requisition-to-PO cycle time already sits at 55 hours, according to Procurify's 2026 benchmark, while the fastest organisations issue a PO in under 40.
The cost of letting it slip is not just slow orders. Only 76.9 percent of spend is covered by a formal PO on average. The rest is bought off contract, and The Hackett Group puts the value lost to maverick buying at as much as 16 percent of negotiated savings. Every PO that never gets raised is a discount someone already negotiated and nobody collected.
The regions we sell into, and the rules that govern each engagement.
Our day overlaps ANZ mornings. Australian Privacy Principles govern cross border handling, and public sector probity rules shape approval routing.
PIPEDA, and Law 25 in Quebec. Bilingual EN/FR purchase orders and supplier correspondence on request.
UK GDPR, with an IDTA covering transfers to India.
Our Middle East team gives local hours cover. Arabic PO documentation, VAT treatment and data residency written into the DPA.
Committed overlap hours in the contract, not best efforts. SOC 2 Type II is on our certification roadmap.
GDPR first. Strongest fit today in the Netherlands, the Nordics and Ireland.
Five areas of work, handled end to end by the buyers assigned to your account.
Four things. None of them take your team more than a few hours.

A month of requisitions and POs, so we can measure your cycle time and coverage today.

One person on your side who can answer policy questions while the pilot runs.

Buyer level rights in your ERP, scoped by you and revoked by you at any time.

Approval limits, amendment thresholds and chase intervals, written down once.
Four to six weeks from first conversation to a team running your PO queue, with a paid pilot before any long term commitment.
We measure what you run today. PO volumes, cycle time from requisition to issue, how much spend actually carries a PO, and where the chasing happens.
A fixed fee pilot on one category or one entity, measured against the baseline we agreed, so the decision to carry on rests on evidence.
Your named buyers move to steady state, with governance calls, SLA reporting and capacity that moves with volume instead of with your hiring cycle.
Nobody writes this comparison honestly, because software vendors sell software and outsourcers sell people. We sell neither a licence nor a tool, so here is the version that tells you when not to hire us.
The questions procurement, finance and IT teams ask before a PO engagement starts.
