The problem
Outsourced work was priced and placed largely from memory. Historic supplier costs and performance were scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes.
The approach
- Took a colleague's idea from conversation to wireframe and feasibility assessment.
- Built it on the shared internal design system, starting with sample data to validate the shape.
- Moved it to production on UK-hosted infrastructure with real data once the model was proven.
The outcome
- Idea to a live, in-use platform in a matter of weeks.
- A single source of truth for supplier cost history.
What they say
I gave Mike a brief for a cost-down and supplier intelligence platform and he came back with a working system. Cost-down candidates are raised by rules, tracked through to finance verification against invoice lines, and the whole thing is role-aware so a viewer sees totals but never a unit price.
