Strategic Sourcing is a UK-based consultancy firm specializing in procurement and negotiation strategy training. The client wanted to revolutionize the way businesses approach negotiation with a more structured and digital-first toolkit. However, their existing negotiation strategy framework was heavily reliant on paper-based workflows which made it difficult to scale, collaborate, and optimize processes efficiently. To bridge this gap, our client envisioned a next-gen digital negotiation toolkit that could automate strategy planning, enhance governance, and streamline execution.

Client Background
The Vision
To modernize negotiation strategy planning, the client envisioned a digital toolkit that would replace traditional paper-based workflows with a structured, step-by-step web solution. The goal was clear to create an intuitive, scalable platform that empowered professionals to strategize, collaborate, and execute negotiations seamlessly. By digitizing the process, the client aimed to eliminate inefficiencies, enhance governance, and provide real-time access to negotiation insights. This forward-thinking approach would not only modernize the way organizations plan negotiations but also set a new standard for structured, data-driven decision-making.
Project Brief
The client had a solid negotiation framework but was struggling to transition from manual, paper-based processes to a fully digital workflow. They had the methodology, the expertise, and the vision. What they needed was the right technology partner to bring it all together.
We got into the scene right there. Our experts immersed themselves in their negotiation process, understanding their strategy, user needs, and business objectives. The goal was to build a step-by-step digital toolkit that simplifies negotiation planning, ensures governance, and enhances collaboration.
To kick things off, we focused on the core functionalities which included interactive strategy creation, document generation, and real-time access to insights. If the initial version performed well, we would expand it with advanced features like intelligent strategy recommendations, data-driven insights, and seamless team collaboration tools.
We also laid the foundation for scalability and long-term success. A big part of building this platform was getting the architecture right and ensuring seamless integration, secure data handling, and a future-ready framework for continuous enhancements.
Client’s existing paper-based framework made collaboration difficult and lacked the flexibility to adapt to different negotiation scenarios. Our focus was to not only digitize the process but to build a structured, intuitive platform that enables professionals to create, track, and refine negotiation strategies with clarity and precision.
