Speeding Up Success:

NVS Alliance's Procurement time slashed by half

 

 NVS Alliance is an Indigenous contractor specialising in civil and built form projects across the mining, construction, and government sectors. With frequent design and construction delivery roles, the NVS team is responsible for engaging both design consultants and subcontractors to deliver high-quality, on-time projects for clients. 

Clear Challenges

This was the reality for NVS Alliance as their business and its projects scaled rapidly. They found themselves overly burdened with administrative overhead, struggling to maintain visibility across complex projects, and risking compliance gaps - all because their procurement process was trapped in disconnected tools and manual workflows. They recognised the need for a more effective way to manage growth and deliver on their promise of high-quality, on-time projects.

How they Deployed Procuracon

NVS Alliance adopted Procuracon’s Procurement Command Centre to manage procurement on a range of projects, including a recent mining camp refurbishment project in Newman for Compass Group and a State Government-backed development at Wellington Dam.

Through the platform, they:

  • Identified and qualified top-tier suppliers: They quickly found and prequalified new suppliers who precisely matched their project and compliance requirements, ensuring they always worked with the best.

  • Streamlined RFQ distribution: Sending out Requests for Quotation to both new and existing preferred consultants and subcontractors became effortless, saving a significant amount of time.

  • Seamlessly coordinated design packages: Managing intricate consultant packages, including architectural, engineering, and HSEQ, was simplified, ensuring all aspects were perfectly aligned.

  • Efficiently managed diverse trade packages: They gained complete control over various trade packages, such as landscaping, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, structural, and joinery, ensuring smooth execution from start to finish.

  • Accelerated RFQ creation with templates: Pre-built templates allowed them to issue RFQs rapidly and consistently, boosting efficiency.

  • Centralised all tender communication: Every clarification and piece of communication related to tenders was captured in one accessible location, eliminating confusion and ensuring complete transparency.

  • Expedited contract awards: They could award contracts directly through the platform, speeding up project kick-off and reducing administrative delays.

The Outcome

The transformation was immediate and significant. NVS Alliance reduced over 50% of the time and effort previously spent on procurement, resulting in direct cost savings and accelerated project timelines. The chaotic dance of manual email threads became a structured, centralised hub, putting all supplier details, compliance documentation, and communication at their fingertips. This newfound efficiency didn't just simplify their tender assessment process; it empowered their teams to make faster, more informed decisions, minimising risks and maximising project success. Crucially, Procuracon didn't just streamline processes; it fostered a foundation for stronger, more reliable partnerships with suppliers, ensuring NVS Alliance can continue to deliver exceptional projects while confidently scaling their business for future growth.

"Procuracon has significantly streamlined our procurement process. It has helped our team manage multiple tender packages more efficiently while maintaining transparency and compliance. The ability to centralise everything from supplier details, shortlisting, RFQs, supplier communication, the assessment of tenders, and contract awards has saved us both time, headaches and stress. As we build our business for the next growth cycle, implementing Procuracon into our business is a logical and proven step forward for us."
