The Real Cost of Unmanaged Procurement
What is your procurement spend actually costing you?
Most companies leave 5–10% on the table every year and never know it.
Why Procura West
“I'm not Deloitte showing up with a team of juniors and a $150K invoice. The person you talk to is the person who does the work.”
- 13+ years of hands-on procurement experience in oil & gas and construction
- Built for companies too big to wing it, too small for a procurement department
- Calgary-based with deep Western Canadian market expertise
- No platform to sell, no software subscription — just operational results you can measure
Where We Find Savings
- Vendor renegotiation — most companies never get competitive bids on existing vendors (8–12% typical)
- Scope creep recovery — unbilled change orders leak 5–10% per project in construction
- Duplicate & maverick spending — multiple people buying the same things at different prices from different vendors
- Payment term optimization — early payment discounts nobody’s capturing
- Contract compliance — working under expired or poorly structured agreements
Where the Money Goes
| Company Size | Procurement Spend | Annual Savings (5–10%) |
|---|---|---|
| $2M revenue | ~$1.2M | $60K – $120K |
| $5M revenue | ~$3M | $150K – $300K |
| $15M revenue | ~$9M | $450K – $900K |
Most small companies spend 60%+ of revenue on subcontractors, materials, and services. Even modest improvements compound fast.
The Risk You Can’t See
One uninsured sub incident
$100K – $500K+
Failed COR audit
Lost ability to bid
Key person leaves
3–6 months of chaos
Expired contract in a dispute
Zero legal protection
“You don’t need a procurement department. You need 13 years of experience taking a hard look at how you buy, who you buy from, and what it’s actually costing you.”
