Sourcing, agreements and supplier vetting
Spend analytics
Spend visibility and dollar-per-watt benchmarking across a buyer's full procurement history, identifying savings a category-by-category view misses.
Long-term supply agreements
Volume-based pricing and capacity reservation structured across multiple projects instead of negotiating each purchase order from scratch.
Procurement-as-a-Service
Outsourced, managed sourcing for organizations that want procurement expertise without building an internal team.
Sustainability sourcing
ESG-aligned sourcing criteria, including FEOC and UFLPA-clean supply chains, built into the vetting process rather than layered on afterward.
Tail-spend consolidation
Low-dollar, high-frequency purchases consolidated under managed sourcing instead of scattered across dozens of small, unmanaged transactions.
Supplier vetting
Verification and qualification of new supplier relationships before they touch a live project, not after.
Find savings, lock in capacity
Find savings a category view misses
Cross-category spend analytics surface patterns and savings a single equipment order never reveals on its own.
Lock in capacity and price ahead of a busy season
Long-term agreements structure pricing and availability before a project needs it, not during a supply crunch.
FAQs
What does strategic procurement cover beyond individual equipment orders?
Strategic procurement looks across the whole spend rather than one order at a time: spend analytics, long-term supply agreements, supplier vetting, tail-spend consolidation, and sustainability sourcing. That wider view surfaces savings and capacity that a single-order approach misses. Sunhub runs it as a service with a team that sources solar equipment for a living.
Can a long-term supply agreement lock in pricing across multiple projects?
Yes. A long-term supply agreement can commit volume in exchange for locked pricing and reserved capacity across multiple projects, which shields a pipeline from spot-price swings and shortages. It works best when demand is reasonably predictable. Sunhub structures these to lock in capacity and price ahead of a busy season.
How is tail spend different from a company's main equipment procurement?
Tail spend is the long list of low-volume, ad hoc purchases outside the main negotiated categories, often many small suppliers and little oversight. Individually minor, it adds up and usually carries higher unit costs. Consolidating it, which Sunhub does as part of procurement-as-a-service, recovers savings a category-level view tends to miss.
