Helping you to accelerate and optimize decision-making
Our offerings support you along three dimensions of transparency, insights, and impact.
Transparency

A reliable single-source-of-truth and high
data quality are the foundation of impactful
analytics and decision-making. Creating
spend transparency is our core competence.
We have state-of-the-art ETL (Extract,
Transform and Load) processes to
harmonize and transform transactional
and master data across data sources
into a single-source-of-truth.
We cleanse, structure, and enrich data by
leveraging our global Supplier Knowledge
Base and Data Categorization & Data
Management Engine.
In our approach, we set up a single-
source-of-truth at your site once and
enable you to operate our software
modules for sustained data quality on
a permanent and refreshable basis.
Insights

We provide comprehensive analyses on
your entire spend and combinatorial
analytics with, e.g., market, index, and
risk data for enhanced impact.
Our dedicated Analytics Innovation Hub
constantly works on next-level analytics
and ensures that current and future needs
are reflected. We combine McKinsey
experience with co-innovation with
our clients.
Our specific Carbon & Sustainability
Analytics module combines your spend
with McKinsey’s Catalyst Zero offering to
provide transparency on your scope-3
emissions. Catalyst Zero can also help
you to embark and accelerate your
decarbonization journey.
Category specific requirements are
addressed through deep-dive modules,
including access to McKinsey category
and sourcing experts.
Impact

Through our integrated measure
management and savings tracking module
(WAVE by McKinsey), our solution ensures
that insights turn into actions, and that
reported savings can be reconciled to
actual baselines.
We offer alerting and recommendation
functionality to automatically monitor
KPIs, trigger actions, and reduce your
own workload.
Our complementary offering of insights
workshops, capability building, and data-
driven performance dialogues will help
you maximize adoption and impact with
Orpheus.
