Performance Diagnostics

Understand where you stand – and what to do next. EFESO’s diagnostics provide fast, fact-based insights to benchmark performance, uncover improvement levers, and guide procurement transformation.

Bringing Clarity to your Procurement Processes

Procurement teams are used to facing pressure – but they often lack clarity. Without a structured assessment, it’s hard to know where value is being lost or which levers to prioritize.

EFESO’s diagnostics bridge that gap. In just 3 weeks, we evaluate your procurement maturity, benchmark against best practice and highlight actionable areas – spanning costs, digitalization, ESG, risk, supplier collaboration and more.

We help companies assess your procurement capabilities, identify gaps to world-class benchmarks, and prioritize actions – both in material costs and organizational functions. Our support also empowers decision-makers and teams to proactively respond to evolving procurement trends.
