About Trevor Naidoo

Have you ever wondered what the future of Procurement might look like this time next year? Have you thought about what it takes to Optimise your Supply Chain in these unprecedented times of exponential change, and at the same time, not just ride the waves of Organisational Change but be the one to leap frog your competition and industry through Strategic Sourcing? Having worked in the Procurement and Supply Chain industries for more than 15 years, I know what it feels like to constantly have to juggle compliance, the burden to manage cost reductions, and create meaningful and measurable impact across the value chain. Since the inception of ProcureSense, we have walked alongside Procurement and Supply Chain leaders in global brands such as Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa, Coca-Cola Africa, Development Bank of South Africa, Anglo Gold Ashanti, Four Arrows Mining and BP, to mention a few. We understand how frustrating it is to manage compliance and stakeholder value while juggling the overarching pressure to deliver value to shareholders through cost savings. Over the last 4 years, we’ve helped our clients shift over R5 billion of Procurement Spend to local businesses, achieving more than R1 billion in Corporate Cost Savings and training over SMEs nationally, with award-winning results that measures true impact. We’ve done this using our technology-based 4-step method to implementing our award-winning ProcureSense Methodology: Diagnose, Prescribe, Design and Deliver. Using procurement meaningfully and strategically will allow for internal innovation in key strategic areas, which always leads to the achievement of KPIs and Shareholder targets, whereas, if you don’t, compliance, cost savings and driving stakeholder value will always be seen as a burden, affecting the outcome of your efforts.
