Working with Bareki
Bareki is a fresh force in the procurement improvement space. An impartial provider of high caliber
advice, we deliver results and deep insight. We have a track record for helping leading organisations
drive more value and deliver more savings from their procurement function and supply chain.
Delivering more from your procurement and supply chain
Bareki works with leading South African and Global organisations across a range of industries. They
often have well performing procurement functions but are looking to us to help them reach the next
level of excellence and raise the profile of the procurement function.
Understanding the needs of the client
Their issues range from delivering cost savings to the bottom line; sourcing effectively from low cost
regions; working together with suppliers to deliver value for the longer term through to developing
talent within the procurement team. These challenges are often intensified by addressing them in
complex, international, multi‐functional environments.
Providing exceptional value
When companies hire Bareki, they know that powerful results will follow. However, it is our
collaborative and approachable style which ensures that the change delivered is sustainable. Our focus
on results speaks for itself as fees are intrinsically linked to the savings delivered.
5 | P a g e
Delivering sustainable results
In the long run, the true measure of success lies in our ability to transfer skills and know‐how that allow
the client to own, sustain and build upon the results delivered during a project.
Flexible approach
Bareki provides a range of client tailored services and are flexible to the needs of the client. We can
help drive a holistic procurement transformation programme, we can help with specific people for
specific projects or we can provide an ‘Extended Sourcing Team’ whereby organisations tap into our
expertise and resource pool on an ‘as needed’ basis.
How we’re Different
Bareki has the credentials of a top tier firm, with the depth of expertise and execution focus of a
flexible niche player. It is this combination that explains our success in a mature and crowded market,
and that enables us to win business in competition with the more established firms time and time
again.
Bareki’s aim was to address changes in the procurement consulting market. Our experience suggested
that Chief Procurement Officers and Procurement Directors were raising the bar when looking for
external help. No longer willing to “pay exorbitant day rates for reports that collect dust on the
bookshelf”; they were increasingly looking for experts, not generalists, for more senior teams, for deep
category expertise, for measurable results and for “skin in the game” commercial arrangements.
Not just another consultancy
Since its inception, Bareki’s mission has been to debunk the kinds of criticisms increasingly leveled at
consultancies. Our aim is to provide what the market wants:
More senior teams, with more sourcing experience
Deep category expertise
Real value, not reports
Reasonable fees, linked to results, and ensuring a strong RoI for the client
Objectivity and a focus on the job at hand, not on the next big sale.

Blue‐chip consultancy heritage with a niche focus
Whilst having the benefits of a small niche player, our “blue‐chip consultancy” heritage remains key to
our success. So in everything we do we provide the levels of quality and professionalism associated
with larger firms. With this in mind, we recruit top talent from the leading consulting firms; people who
have impeccable credentials, and who have the combination of experience, analytical skill, and
interpersonal / change management capability to effect real change within blue‐chip clients.

Strategic Sourcing
Procurement is defining its own culture: processes have had to become sharper and faster to be able to deliver in ever‐tighter competitive environments. Sourcing no longer equates to instant cost gratification, but is now defined as a strategic component used to drive maximum competitive advantage. Strategic sourcing is itself a benchmark. It relates to getting the best products and services at the best value. It is designed to segment external spend and ensure that procurement resources are focused on the most important categories. What sets strategic sourcing apart is its continuous attention to improving and re‐evaluating the purchasing activities of a company, thus enabling organisations to adapt to changing market forces.
Supply Chain Management
The growth of consumer knowledge across globalised economies has meant that the notion of instant gratification by people is now a given. If companies are unable to rationalise their processes effectively, the degree to which they will maintain competitive advantage can be seriously compromised.
Companies must deliver, and this is reflected in effective Supply Chain Management (SCM). The aim, ultimately, is to reduce inventory and risk.
Procurement Outsourcing
With the increased focus on cost and compliance, the procurement function has been elevated to a strategic component of value creation and a rich source of competitive advantage. To achieve this, rather than creating a world class procurement capability in‐house, many companies have simply outsourced it.
Procurement outsourcing is often undertaken to leverage economies of scale and improve the execution and control of underperforming or non‐core tasks and poorly managed spend categories. In doing so companies can realise reduced supply and operational costs, improved compliance and enhanced performance and cycle times.
10 | P a g e
It is important to recognise that outsourcing the procurement function does not necessarily mean a complete transfer of control but more likely the utilisation of third‐party services.
At a simple level procurement outsourcing can involve migration of infrastructure: people, technology, systems and supplier management. A step further and more complex procurement‐related processes can involve, for example, transferring procure‐to‐pay (P2P) and/or requisitioning. At a higher level, value‐added functions such as strategic sourcing can be transferred. Taken to its full conception, strategic responsibilities can be given over, which might include the formulation of business rules.
Services Procurement
Services procurement encompasses the strategic management and procuring of complex category services such as contract labour, consultancy services, marketing, print, travel, telecoms and legal services. Services spend represents an enormous expense and while companies try in earnest to control the costs, few have the same visibility into their services expenditure as for goods and materials. It is estimated that nearly 50 per cent of corporate procurement spending is for services, and for even the most proficient enterprise, services spending can still be an abyss of unsourced buying and lost savings opportunities.
Consequently leading organisations are looking at methods for tracking this spend and the significant savings a correctly centralised services procurement strategy can deliver.
Spend Management
Procurement leaders are making a step‐change in spend analysis and are looking at spend management as a platform to support an analytical, data‐driven approach to managing procurement and operations on a sustainable basis. Not simply about good data, successful spend management should highlight compliance leakages, be repeatable, results driven and realize savings.
Spend management is crucial for all companies, and in gaining visibility of spend across companies with big ERP systems it is hot on the agenda.
11 | P a g e
Supplier Relationship Management
As the need to maintain quality, coherence and deliver tangible savings across the supply chain has increased, so the focus has turned to procurement departments to realise the benefits through supplier relationship management (SRM). Improving the selection and management of global suppliers is a key issue for many large organisations.
Effective management of the supply base is critical. When companies are confident they are working with the most capable and economical suppliers, processes can be streamlined. Companies can reap the rewards by managing relationships in a more strategic fashion
Global Sourcing
As the need to gain competitive edge tightens, companies that were once content to cultivate their local and national markets are now keen to globalise their operations and tap into new markets.
Global sourcing, and specifically low‐cost country sourcing, is a hot topic. Legitimised by early pioneers, offshore providers proved their value as alternative resources. Companies initially questioning why you would source from low‐cost countries are now asking: why wouldn't you? As familiarity with the available opportunities has increased, so more enlightened companies have come to focus less on achieving incremental cost improvements and, instead, are evaluating all their capabilities to define a winning global sourcing strategy. They see global sourcing as a long‐term strategy rather than a tactical solution for short‐term goals. The global deployment of work has its critics, but it can be argued that it holds huge opportunities for procurement: companies can benefit from lower costs, faster times‐to‐market and access to a massive pool of skilled resources, resulting in substantial value to the bottom line.

Outsourcing
Outsourcing, or Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), is at the top of many corporate agendas in today's economy. With a focus on core competencies, more and more companies are outsourcing human resources, IT, procurement and other key business functions in order to reduce fixed costs, streamline and improve performance.
Procurement plays a central role in any outsourcing agreement. From selecting an outsourcing provider to negotiating the final contract, procurement must understand every aspect of the deal and its financial impact on the organisation.
Talent Management
Effective talent management is a critical business goal for all leading organisations in today's economy. The fast‐paced development of purchasing as a crucial lever for competitive advantage has meant that the 'war for procurement talent' is as intense as it has ever been. The scarcity of skilled executive purchasing talent means that companies must be creative in their approach to attracting, developing and retaining the top people. A recent management article in ELP Magazine suggested: "it is far easier to teach a business manager about procurement than it is to teach a procurement manager about business."
Change Management
Change management is a systematic approach to enabling people in an organization to transition from their current state to a desired future state. Without adequate change management, there is a high risk of failure for the implementation of a new business strategy or operating model, or a program to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies. When delivering change management support to our clients, we balance formal and informal interventions to ensure that leaders drive and role model the change, people throughout the organization adopt new ways of working, and the business benefits of the change are sustained

Contract Management
Enterprise Contracts Management services help companies gain visibility into contractual obligations, mitigate regulatory risk, and save money by upgrading procedural controls and improving compliance to contract terms and conditions.
While contractual agreements are the foundation of most business relationships, the processes of contract creation, compliance management, and performance analysis often are inconsistent and under‐resourced.
Labor‐intensive processes waste resources.
Nonstandard terms and conditions erode profit and increase compliance risk.
Obstacles to retrieving information hinder contract compliance.
Procure to Pay(P2P) Process Improvement
Procure‐to‐pay processes are at the core of company operations, but they can also be fraught with risk and inefficiency.
Improving procure‐to‐pay processes by establishing appropriate controls can improve the efficiency of the whole enterprise, and make it more effective at growth and the processes around controlling and contributing to growth. Organizations that have invested in Bareki solutions already have the capabilities to establish these controls and gain efficiencies in their procure‐to‐pay processes while simultaneously satisfying risk management and compliance needs
Business Systems Optimisation
When management software systems are installed or upgraded, user requirements are sometimes lost in translation at the design stage. Standard functionality can be overlooked in favour of customised solutions, which are usually less flexible or transparent, and can jeopardise software vendor support agreements.
Bareki specialises in reducing complexity, playing to the strengths of your existing management systems, and helping to turn your processes can usually be made more efficient, requiring fewer steps and thus saving valuable time. All in all, your management system may be working at less than optimum level. With our experience of large ERP systems Bareki can help reduce complexity, improve system performance and make your system easier and more rewarding to work with.
