Streamlining Procurement Onboarding for Newco Spin-off

CHALLENGE

Newco, a dynamic organization on the verge of independence from its parent company, faced a critical challenge. As the close date approached, Newco was confronted with the daunting prospect of losing access to a full procurement department. This impending transition created a substantial gap in their ability to effectively onboard new suppliers and manage critical procurement activities, including supplier onboarding administration and contract negotiation.

The challenge at hand was twofold. First, Newco needed a comprehensive procurement onboarding solution that could facilitate a smooth transition into independent operations starting from day one, the close date. Second, it was imperative to work toward separating from any Transition Services Agreements (TSAs) as swiftly as possible to regain full autonomy.
