Zeta Procurement Advisory helps mid-size to large retailers cut indirect and packaging costs. We work on retainer, with direct principal involvement — no junior teams, no 80-page decks, no learning curve on your time.
Indirect and packaging spend sits on nearly every retail P&L — and on most, it compounds quietly, year after year, without anyone re-testing the market. Our work starts where legacy consulting stops: inside the contract. We rebuild categories from specifications up, run disciplined RFPs against benchmarked pricing, and hand back signed agreements that protect savings across renewal cycles.
The result is a sharper, more defensible cost base — and a procurement function that stops reacting and starts leading.
Aligned incentives over a 90-day engagement plus ongoing support. You pay for negotiated contracts — not slide volume.
AI-assisted spend classification, supplier discovery, and benchmarking compress work that used to take a quarter into weeks.
Methodology from running category strategy inside the largest retailers in the country — not a boardroom whiteboard.
The Procurement Savings Audit is a 15–20 minute call. No slides. No follow-up sequence.
