Procurement Leadership.
Serious Savings.
BigAsh.ai helps mid-market CPG and food companies find and capture procurement savings in weeks — not quarters.
Built by Jim Ash, a procurement executive with $35B+ in managed spend experience, $1B+ in delivered savings, and 2,000+ supplier relationships.
Procurement is where margin quietly disappears.
Most mid-market companies are big enough to have complex supplier spend, but not big enough to justify a full-time CPO. Costs creep, suppliers multiply, contracts auto-renew. If you are growing fast or managing a PE value creation plan, procurement cannot stay reactive.
Supplier Sprawl
Too many vendors, too little leverage, and no clear view of where consolidation could create savings.
Contract Leakage
Auto-renewals, price escalators, unfavorable terms, and missed renegotiation windows quietly drain margin.
Rising Input Costs
Packaging, ingredients, freight, and services keep getting more expensive — but internal teams rarely have the bandwidth to fight back.
No Procurement Owner
Finance sees the spend. Operations feels the pain. But no senior leader owns the end-to-end procurement strategy.
Find out where procurement is leaking margin.
The 48-Hour Procurement Savings Diagnostic gives your leadership team a fast, executive-level view of where supplier spend, contracts, and sourcing decisions may be costing you money.
This is not a generic assessment. It is a focused savings scan designed to identify the fastest path to measurable procurement impact.

Jim brings procurement experience from one of the most demanding operating environments in the world — adapted for mid-market companies that need speed and practicality.
Built for the Mid-Market
You may not need a full-time CPO. But you do need senior procurement leadership, better supplier leverage, and a clear plan to protect margin.
From spend visibility to signed savings.
We start fast, focus on the highest-value opportunities, and move from analysis to action as quickly as possible.
Diagnose
We review spend, suppliers, contracts, renewals, and known pain points to identify where value is leaking.
Prioritize
We separate the noise from the real opportunities and rank savings initiatives by size, speed, risk, and ease of execution.
Execute
We lead sourcing, negotiation, supplier engagement, and implementation — not just the strategy.
Sustain
We build repeatable procurement routines, supplier governance, and internal capabilities so the savings continue.
