VODAFONE PROCUREMENT & CONNECTIVITY
Vodafone brings such phenomenal value here as a partner in part due to its scale , according to Richard . “ We have an incredible amount of scale in Vodafone , whether it ’ s in roaming services or procurement services , not least of which just looking at the 24 billion euros of spend that we manage out of this building every year ,” he says .
“ What I want to deliver for our customers is very simple , using that 24 billion as leverage . How do we provide for our customers that are typically smaller than the Vodafone Group ? How do we provide them with an advantage in the markets that they operate in ? By bringing expertise .”
This expertise according to Richard looks like category and industry knowledge , negotiation support and other means to deliver best value across their markets so these companies can maximise their CapEx budget , minimise their OPEX costs and gain true advantage against their competition .
Vodafone is also establishing a logistics hub in Luxembourg , further solidifying its commitment to the region . “ It ’ s a fantastic opportunity to leverage the benefits of Luxembourg and show our continued commitment to the country ,” he says .
Expanding services and new markets Ninian ’ s vision for Vodafone Procurement & Connectivity is focused on expansion . As a business within the Vodafone Group , it has the chance to offer its services to new customers and markets .
