How it works
StrategyValor
StrategyValor is for procurement teams that want to develop and implement a clear strategy for each category. The ProcureValor suite is aimed at companies, SMEs, private equity and consultancies with procurement spend of up to around CHF 800 million. There are suitable models for smaller companies too.
StrategyValor uses data from the entire suite: spend from SpendValor, tenders from SourceValor, contracts from ContractValor and recoveries from MarginValor. The dashboard shows these modules at a glance, together with what to do today. Suppliers, categories and contracts are entered only once.
StrategyValor is also available separately. You can start with this module and add others when it suits you.
For consultancies and private equity, StrategyValor is also available under their own brand through AdvisorValor, with clients strictly separated. This makes it possible to develop category strategies for several clients or portfolio companies in your own corporate design.
You are free to choose the model: StrategyValor is available with a licence or on a success-based model. StrategyValor is developed in Switzerland and 100 % hosted in Switzerland.
StrategyValor
In StrategyValor, work on a category follows four steps.
StrategyValor then tracks implementation and impact for each initiative. Anyone who has to prioritise measures sees all initiatives of a category in one place, each with its baseline and source. Because all modules work on the same data foundation, figures do not have to be copied by hand between spreadsheets.
StrategyValor
Example, fictitious: A mid-sized manufacturing company wants to reset its strategy for the packaging category.
In the first step, StrategyValor shows spend, suppliers, running contracts and risks for this category. The team notices that volume is spread across only a few suppliers and that two contracts will expire soon.
The team then checks every lever. Bundling and a new tender are options. A change to the specification is rejected because production cannot adapt the packaging at present. The reason is recorded.
This results in two initiatives, each with a baseline and a source: a tender for the expiring contracts and a renegotiation with the largest supplier. After approval, the tender goes to SourceValor and the negotiation to TermsValor. The new contracts are managed in ContractValor.
In StrategyValor, procurement tracks how far each initiative has progressed and what impact it shows. Next year, work on the category does not start from scratch, because the levers checked and rejected are documented with their reasons.

A category strategy defines, for each category, which measures procurement will implement. StrategyValor builds category strategies and measures based on data from the whole ProcureValor suite. For each category you see spend, suppliers, contracts and risks at a glance. On that basis you review the levers, build initiatives and track implementation and impact.
With StrategyValor, a procurement strategy for each category is created in four steps. First, choose the category and see spend, suppliers, contracts and risks. Second, check every lever and record rejected ones with a reason. Third, build initiatives, each with a baseline and a source. Fourth, approve and hand over to the executing module: SourceValor, TermsValor or ContractValor.
StrategyValor uses data from the entire ProcureValor suite. For each category it shows spend, suppliers, contracts and risks. The dashboard shows the modules at a glance, with spend, tenders, contracts and recoveries, and what to do today. Together, all modules share one data foundation: suppliers, categories and contracts are entered only once.
In StrategyValor you assess and prioritise measures for each category. First, every lever is checked; rejected ones are recorded with a reason. Every initiative gets a baseline and a source. Once approved, it goes to the executing module: SourceValor for tenders, TermsValor for negotiations or ContractValor for contracts. You then track implementation and impact in StrategyValor.
StrategyValor is for procurement teams that develop and implement strategies for each category. The ProcureValor suite is aimed at companies, SMEs, private equity and consultancies with procurement spend of up to around CHF 800 million; there are suitable models for smaller companies too. Consultancies and private equity can use StrategyValor under their own name through AdvisorValor.
StrategyValor is available with a licence or on a success-based model. You can start with StrategyValor alone and add further modules of the ProcureValor suite when it suits you.
