Proprietary benchmarking databases, real-time supplier financial monitoring, and market intelligence feeds give Hackett unique sight lines into supplier capacity, pricing trends, and competitive dynamics — enabling earlier market interventions and more informed supplier selections.

Genpact operates dedicated category centers of excellence (e.g., IT services, logistics, indirect materials, manufacturing) with deep benchmarking, supplier landscape knowledge, and best-practice templates that accelerate sourcing timelines and improve savings realization versus traditional advisory.
Supplier Market Intelligence
Genpact leverages proprietary supplier databases, market research partnerships, and real-time intelligence platforms to identify new sources, assess supplier viability, and benchmark market rates—reducing time-to-market for sourcing events and improving spend visibility.

Genpact combines category strategy with hands-on negotiation leadership and value engineering, often embedding senior negotiators in client teams to drive supplier competitive tension, total-cost-of-ownership optimization, and payment-term improvements that go beyond price reduction.
Global Sourcing Capability
With delivery centers and supplier networks across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets, Genpact enables enterprises to access global supply options, manage multi-region sourcing complexity, and leverage cross-geography scale to improve margins.
