Procurement Benchmarking for Better Performance
Procurement benchmarking is a CASME speciality.
CASME delivers actionable intelligence for members through confidential benchmarking studies, providing an impartial view of performance across the indirect procurement function. Members benchmark:
Procurement team effectiveness
Category management capabilities
Planning and forecasting performance
Response to global supply chain disruptions
These insights help organisations identify performance gaps, prioritise improvements, and make better-informed strategic decisions.
The intelligence is published via the secure member-only Resource Centre, which contains 180+ benchmarking reports. Request a sample here.
Organisations that participate in benchmarking studies are guaranteed confidentiality when sharing data and real-life experiences, because all sources of information remain anonymous.
