Rationalise a range of suppliers to a single point of contact

Tail Management Services

Unproductive suppliers are a hidden drain on resources. It can cost around £1000 just to set-up and on-board a new supplier and the cost of managing multiple suppliers can grow and grow, each time you use them. We help organisations reduce this burden.

Creating a Single Touch Point for Supply

Princeps customers understand how good it can feel to have a single point of contact for their EEE sourcing and procurement needs, rather than a sparingly used, costly and disparate raft of suppliers.

Access to the global supply chain, credit terms, delivery options, traceability, flow downs, accreditations, progressing and vendor management can all be consolidated into one strategic supply chain partner, saving time, reducing costs and adding value.

What is Tail Management?

Tail management is the process of rationalising and streamlining a company’s supplier base to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. By consolidating multiple suppliers into a single point of contact, organisations can minimise resource drain and improve operational effectiveness. This approach allows businesses to focus on strategic supplier relationships, which ultimately leads to better procurement practices and reduced hidden costs.

Our expertise in vendor management and access to a global supply chain enables you to focus on your core business operations while we handle the complexities of supplier relationships.

Why is Tail Management important?

Effective tail management is essential as it allows companies to optimise their supply chains, reduce unnecessary overhead, and improve the quality of vendor relationships. By eliminating unproductive suppliers and establishing a streamlined communication process, organisations can improve efficiency, reduce lead times, and ensure consistent quality in their products and services.
