the company demonstrates that greater levels of efficiency are a benefit to this way of working . Consequently , the pandemic has enabled a busy work period for the company and allowed its service level to shine . “ Some of the best pieces of feedback I ’ ve received were in recognition of our fast response . When a client has a problem , they call The Smart Cube and a day or two later we ’ ll deliver a solution , whether that ’ s cost-saving , moving a supplier base or even finding alternative suppliers ,” explains Abdullah .
Sitting at the technological heart of The Smart Cube is Amplifi PRO , the company ’ s organisation intelligence engine ( OIE ). Combining deep knowledge with state-of-the-art tools and advanced analytical capabilities , Amplifi can be utilised proactively by staff to deliver value to clients or responsively to generate data and context . Remarking on the decades of industry know-how which drive Amplifi , Abdullah adds that one of the main benefits of The Smart Cube ’ s OIE is that it circumvents the need to ‘ reinvent the wheel ’ with every enquiry . Able to access a wealth of procurement intelligence and resources , companies can forecast the best route for weathering supply chain disruption or fluctuation . Originally only available to the company ’ s clients but now , in the wake of COVID-19-related disruptions , is now available to the global procurement community on a freemium basis with three levels ( Essential , Professional and Unlimited ). “ The idea behind Amplifi was to codify information and support clients to do higher-order , more intelligent work ,” Abdullah states . “ It ’ s fundamental information that gives you the lay of the land : market size structure , growth rates , etc . We ’ re giving companies the opportunity to sign up and find this information themselves .”
