Better spend management for every portfolio company.
PREMIKATI and SAP Ariba give PE firms one operating model to maximize operational efficiency, strengthen supplier relationships, control spend, and mitigate risk, turning procurement into a driver of PortCo valuation.
SAP Ariba gives operating partners a clearer view of spend, suppliers, contracts, and sourcing activity across portfolio companies. That visibility creates a practical foundation for stronger controls, faster savings execution, and more consistent procurement performance.
PREMIKATI helps private equity firms and PortCo leadership apply the platform where it creates the most value first. The result is a procurement model that supports EBITDA improvement, protects working capital, and strengthens exit readiness without adding unnecessary operating complexity.
Each lever can stand alone or work as part of a broader portfolio strategy. PREMIKATI helps operating partners prioritize the sequence based on value, readiness, and speed to impact.
Consolidate and analyze spend across portfolio companies to identify fragmentation, duplicate suppliers, unmanaged categories, and sourcing opportunities. Give operating partners a more reliable view of where procurement can influence EBITDA.
Centralize contracts, key terms, obligations, and renewal dates across PortCo suppliers. Improve compliance, reduce missed commitments, and identify opportunities to consolidate agreements or negotiate from a stronger portfolio position.
Standardize how portfolio companies plan, launch, evaluate, and award sourcing events. A repeatable process accelerates execution, improves competition, documents decisions, and creates a clearer path from identified opportunity to realized savings.
Give employees a branded, guided purchasing experience aligned with PortCo policies, preferred suppliers, and approval requirements. Simplify routine buying while improving adoption, compliance, and visibility into long-tail spend.
The technology matters because of the operating outcomes it enables. PREMIKATI keeps the program anchored to financial control, execution, risk, and the quality of the business at exit.
