FAST TRACK FOR TECHNICAL PROCUREMENT TEAMS
One commodity group. Up to 200 parts. Quantified savings potential, supplier-price outliers, and negotiation-ready target prices — in two weeks.
THE FAST TRACK
The Procurement Fast Track is the fixed-scope way to buy the DARIN methodology for one commodity group. DARIN is the cost-optimization method behind the target prices: a should-cost per part plus five levers — Design, Automate, Re-locate, Identify, Negotiate.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Your supplier just raised prices — and your team cannot challenge them with ERP data alone. Without a technical benchmark, your position won't hold up in the room.
Management expects a quantified savings impact now. But a full procurement transformation project takes months you don't have before the next sourcing cycle.
The cost drivers sit in the drawings — dimensions, materials, tolerances — but they aren't available as usable procurement data. So every price decision is guesswork.
When supplier prices increase, ERP data alone is not enough. Fast Track turns one commodity group into a defensible, part-level view of where price gaps sit — and what a fair target price looks like.
Five commercial outputs, built to be used directly in your next supplier negotiation.
A defensible target-price view for every part, built from technical characteristics and benchmark logic — not a rough market estimate.
Grounded in over €1 billion of analyzed spend across 250+ categories, so the number holds up across the table.
A prioritized view of where price gaps are largest and where negotiation should start — quantified per part number.
Structured to defend internally, line by line, to management and to the negotiation table.
Identify parts where current prices deviate from the expected technical cost level — and which suppliers earn above-market margins on your business.
The clearest, fastest starting point for a factual price conversation.
Technically comparable parts purchased at different prices or from different suppliers — surfaced automatically.
Consolidation and variant-reduction opportunities you can act on immediately.
A structured handover session with the findings, assumptions, and recommended next steps.
You leave with a savings case you can put in front of management and take straight into the negotiation.
No black box. After two weeks you receive a structured savings report your team can open, defend, and take straight into the negotiation.
A few more client results from the case library, each driven by the same markdown-based format.

Three focused steps from your raw data to a negotiation-ready savings case. Our team handles the analysis — you focus on the negotiation.
