Pay Less

Are you spending too much due to poor enforcement of sourcing and procurement policies?

Millions of dollars of investments in sourcing and procurement systems have been justified on the basis of consolidating spend to achieve leverage, identifying the best suppliers through discovery best practices, and using transparent bidding to negotiate the best prices...all leading to huge forecasted procurement cost savings to the enterprise. But the savings never seem to completely reach the bottom line. Where is the disconnect preventing full savings realization?

Put succinctly, the problem is enforcement. Commodity managers, buyers, and approvers often have limited ability to enforce usage of preferred suppliers resulting in spend leakage. Compounding the problem is the fact that requestors often do not have insight into Preferred Supplier Lists, and required approvers are often left off of approval processes leading to inadvertent maverick and off-contract spend. Given the number of procurement execution systems inside the typical enterprise, combined with the long IT backlog around systems integration and business process management projects, it’s no surprise that companies can’t leverage their negotiated buying power.
