Procurement isn’t just about cost-cutting anymore — it’s about creating value in a volatile world. The Accelerated Cost Reduction Programme (ACRP) by Harley Reed is a strategic solution that empowers organisations to identify, capture, and sustain savings without compromising on service delivery or long-term supplier performance
The ACRP is a structured advisory service designed to help organisations unlock hidden procurement savings through advanced spend diagnostics, supplier discovery, digital sourcing strategies, and contract optimisation. Built for agility and powered by real-time data, ACRP helps your procurement and finance teams achieve strategic goals faster.
