Supplier and Catalog Consolidation

ESG provides a ready-to-go catalog delivering immediate savings and the technology to access it. Our proprietary “many-to-one” catalog platform is software agnostic, compatible with any existing procurement/ERP software or accounting package you may be using (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Procurify, Jaggaer, etc.). And, as a certified minority-owned supplier, all goods and services provided by ESG serve to increase your Tier 1 diverse spend.

ESG provides a single punch out catalog that allows access to savings from an unlimited number of approved suppliers via single interface, all while using your existing procurement platform.

What about your smaller suppliers — that may not currently offer punch out functionality — you need to provide niche or unique goods? ESG works directly with those suppliers, on your behalf, to populate our catalog with only those pre-approved items your team needs most. You continue to maintain the supplier relationship…ESG will assume the technical relationship, freeing up your IT and other resources.

Instead of multiple punch outs, and no or limited online access to order from your smaller suppliers, ESG will provide a single interface that integrates directly into your current procurement/ERP/accounting platform. Your users no longer need to navigate multiple supplier web sites and interfaces. It’s all in one place with ESG.

No need to create multiple purchase orders or one PO per supplier. Let our platform do all the heavy lifting. This let’s your users get in, quickly find and order what they need from a single location (from any number of suppliers) for goods and suppliers approved by your company, and get on with their day.

The result? Time savings by your users, cost savings for your organization, reduced maverick/”rogue” spend, and 100% visibility and reporting into your spend. And, all of this occurs within a secure environment — hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) using industry standard 256-bit SSL encryption for all data — that doesn’t require your users to remember multiple passwords or login information.

Combined with ESG’s other managed services and you truly have a recipe to aggregate, negotiate, consolidate, manage, and supply quality goods and services at a reduced rate using proven strategic sourcing methodologies and technology.

"We engaged ESG to help us develop and implement the supply management strategy for our organization. ESG did an excellent job walking us through the process of understanding the current state of our organization and the effort required to reach our long-term objectives. They were instrumental in creating an effective strategy for managing our third party expenditures in a cost effective manner during a very tumultuous time for our bank. Their end product has positioned us to reduce operating expenses, improve supplier performance and manage our supplier relationships with confidence."

"ESG's supplier qualification process was an opportunity for me to take our company to another level… asking that I look at our company in a way that I never had. It allowed me to see us in a more professional light than I had before. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for all of the work you are doing on our behalf. It is needed and greatly appreciated."

“ESG was able to deliver quantifiable results which had a positive impact to our bottom line while consolidating our supplier base and increasing our spend with diverse suppliers."

“ESG provides an automated system that gives us corporate-level control of our supply chain, as well as a way to reach minority suppliers. ESG identified savings in excess of $3 million (over $22,000 for each of our locations), improved service, and helped us further demonstrate our inclusion commitment.”

“With the assistance of ESG, our organization's enhanced Supplier Diversity Initiative is an ideal way for us to express our support for the diverse businesses in our community, demonstrate best-in-class supplier diversity for educational institutions in Kentucky, and allow these businesses to learn more about what our campuses have to offer.”
