ProcOut

What ProcOut does

ProcOut s.r.l. (also known as Procurement Outsaving) is a Rome-headquartered procurement and supply chain management consulting firm founded in 2011. The company provides professional services across the full procurement lifecycle, including Strategic Sourcing and Spend Analysis, Procurement Consulting and Temporary Management, Procurement Outsourcing, Supplier Management (with Vendor Rating), E-Procurement platform implementation, Project Buyer support for capital projects, and Category Cost Saving programs. ProcOut does not develop or sell proprietary software; instead it applies structured methodologies—most notably its proprietary "Metodo 0%-5%" for predicting savings margins, the Kraljic Matrix combined with Pareto analysis, and a WIN-WIN supplier collaboration framework—as consulting deliverables to client organizations.

The firm serves a dual client base: mid-to-large enterprises across pharmaceuticals (Sigma-Tau/Alfasigma, Haupt Pharma Latina, Catalent), railway infrastructure (Grandi Stazioni Rail), and manufacturing, alongside Italian small and medium enterprises (PMI) that lack dedicated procurement functions. For PMI clients, ProcOut operates Virtual Purchasing Groups (Gruppi d'Acquisto Virtuali) that aggregate buying volume across SMEs to increase negotiating leverage. Named case studies document measurable outcomes including 15-34% savings on managed purchase budgets, €1.3M cost reduction, 30% FTE reduction, and 10-15% inventory reduction at Sigma-Tau, as well as category-level savings reaching 62.8% on pallets and 59.9% on detergents at other clients.

ProcOut operates with 1-10 employees as a private limited company (Società a responsabilità limitata) under Italian law, with no external funding, parent company, or institutional investors identified. Revenue derives from project-based and retainer professional services fees on multi-year contracts, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct engagement with company management and procurement leadership, supported by a content marketing strategy including a blog, case studies, and industry articles published on the company website. Technology partnerships include a relationship with Zycus for e-Procurement platform delivery and prior collaboration with BIP Consulting on enterprise engagements.

Others

• Accenture (Procurement & Supply Chain): Accenture's Procurement & Supply Chain practice delivers consulting, managed services, and technology-enabled transformation to large global clients. It is a broad incumbent that competes for large outsourcing and digital procurement transformation deals ProcOut also targets.
• Zycus: Zycus is an e-Procurement platform provider (sourcing, procurement, and spend analysis suites) that is both ProcOut's technology partner and an indirect competitor for e-Procurement implementation work. Listed here as an ecosystem participant because of the active partner relationship.
• Ivalua: Ivalua is a procurement and supplier management software vendor whose platform often replaces or competes with the outsourced procurement services ProcOut delivers. It is an adjacent/ecosystem participant ProcOut could either partner with or compete against for digital procurement transformation deals.

Direct peers

• GEP Worldwide: GEP provides procurement consulting, managed services, and its own SMART by GEP platform, serving large enterprises globally with strategic sourcing and category management. It is a directly comparable peer at the intersection of procurement consulting and outsourcing, but with materially greater scale and proprietary technology.
• ProcureAbility: ProcureAbility is a procurement and supply chain consulting firm offering strategic sourcing, spend analysis, supplier management, and procurement outsourcing services to mid-market and enterprise clients. It is a directly comparable services-only peer to ProcOut, competing for similar procurement transformation mandates.

Broad incumbents

• McKinsey & Company (Operations Practice): McKinsey's Operations Practice includes procurement and supply chain transformation engagements for global enterprises. It is a broad incumbent that ProcOut could be considered a smaller, local alternative to, but at materially different scale, brand, and engagement economics.
• Kearney: Kearney (formerly A.T. Kearney) operates a well-known procurement and supply chain management consulting practice serving Fortune 500 enterprises with strategic sourcing and operations work. It is a broad incumbent that competes with ProcOut for large enterprise procurement mandates but at a much higher price point and global scale.
• Bain & Company: Bain & Company provides procurement and operations consulting to large multinational clients. It is a broad incumbent strategy consultancy whose procurement practice overlaps with ProcOut's enterprise sourcing and cost reduction engagements.

Emerging players

• Sievo: Sievo is a spend analytics software company that provides category-level spend visibility and savings identification. It is an emerging player addressing the spend analysis use case ProcOut performs as a service, but via SaaS rather than consulting.
• SpendHQ: SpendHQ offers a cloud-based spend analysis and procurement performance platform for mid-market and enterprise customers. It is an emerging player that overlaps with ProcOut's spend analysis service line, though it competes on technology enablement rather than advisory delivery.
