Vendor Consolidation Project
Consolidated 14 vendors into 4 strategic partners, cutting cost and complexity.
OperationsSystems Thinking
Problem
14 overlapping vendor contracts created cost and operational complexity with no clear ownership.
What I built
A scoring framework to evaluate vendors and a staged consolidation plan.
My contribution
Built the scoring model, negotiated transitions, and managed the rollout.
Process
Scored existing vendors
Built objective criteria instead of relying on tenure or relationships.
Staged the consolidation
Sequenced transitions to avoid service disruption.
Outcome
Vendor spend reduced 19% with fewer, stronger relationships.
