Strategic Sourcing with the Hex Sourcing Cycle: our 6-step method
The NeuraChain proprietary method, step by step: intake and opportunity, spend and category profile, market intelligence and strategy, RFx and bids, negotiation and contract, and implement, pay and monitor. Includes where AI agents help, where people decide, and the templates we use in real projects.
Fact-Based Negotiation & Should-Cost
Build a should-cost model, set targets and a walk-away point, and negotiate on facts instead of asking for discounts.
Source-to-Pay: from contract to invoice
Turn contracts into catalogs and PO rules, set up approvals and three-way match, and stop paying above contract price.
Supplier Risk & Resilience
Map single-source exposure, score suppliers on risk and performance, and build multi-source and continuity plans for critical parts.
CAPEX & Long-Lead Equipment Procurement
Source transformers, switchgear, generators and cooling: manage lead times, expediting, factory acceptance and critical spares.
S&OP for Mid-Size Manufacturers
Run a monthly S&OP cycle that aligns sales, operations, procurement and finance on one plan, with the right inventory levels.
