Source One’s proven category management principles and flexible team of procurement experts help Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies reduce costs and improve operating margins.
Perhaps more than other types of companies, those in the Private Equity and Venture Capital spaces are under enormous pressure to increase valuation and EBITDA. As the savvy business professional knows, a dollar saved in Procurement has more bottom line impact than a dollar of sales – and that’s why Procurement and Strategic Sourcing organizations in Private Equity are often the first business units to be targeted.
But most Procurement and Strategic Sourcing teams are already lean and fully burdened – and reducing costs while also trying to meet customer demands, rationalize suppliers and services during M&A, or prepare for IPO creates a challenging situation. That’s where Source One’s private equity cost reduction experts can help.

Contingency-Based Cost Reduction
Since 1992, Source One has offered procurement and sourcing organizations a completely risk-free cost reduction solution. We pioneered the model, and while other companies have tried to provide their clients with an equally risk-free way to reduce costs, none has succeeded. Our proven strategic sourcing process, practiced category managers, and proprietary databases allow us to sustainably reduce costs in every category for any kind of company. Our contingency-based cost reduction services are based on no upfront fees – only a percentage of the hard-dollar, realized savings.
Interim Chief Procurement Officer
A great organization has a great leader, and Procurement and Strategic Sourcing is no exception. But various scenarios around company culture, growth strategy, and operating models sometimes leave Procurement and Strategic Sourcing without a center-led governance model and a strong Procurement leader. Source One’s Interim CPO solution is the answer. With our decades of cross-industry experience and our extensive network of Procurement and Strategic Sourcing executives, Source One can provide the temporary support your organization needs to turn things around.
