The firm's clients run the gamut of Fortune 1,000 companies and private equity firms across a multitude of industries, including manufacturing, retail, financial services, health care, commercial services, and telecommunications. Some representative clients include lululemon, Aaron’s Inc., Under Armor, and many more.

But while Insight Sourcing's client base is incredibly diverse, its core skills are portable across industry lines—meaning that clients tend to have similar needs when engaging the firm: the need to improve their sourcing and procurement performance, whether by cutting costs, seeking guidance in a new area, or building the expertise in the first place. Insight Sourcing  works on such projects from development to execution, often on a global basis.

Teaming Up

The firm's global reach is greatly expanded by Insight Sourcing Europe, a joint venture formed with Germany-based pricing, procurement, and supply-chain experts Kerkhoff Consulting. The tie-up allows Insight Sourcing's clients to have access to low-cost, country-specific sourcing expertise throughout the world for U.S.-based companies, and sourcing and procurement services for the U.S. operations of European-based companies. Additionally, Kerkhoff's European clients gain access to Insight Sourcing's proprietary spend analysis program, SpendHQ. A win-win scenario for certain.
