A strategic approach to sourcing is essential for achieving immediate needs as well as for sustaining enterprise-wide cost reductions.
Locating a supplier and pricing an item simply isn’t enough. Sustainable savings come from identifying cost-cutting opportunities, defining and executing a supplier selection process, and creating contracts that convert them into actual savings. And this requires being able to evaluate the total cost impact of sourcing decisions, while shortening the amount of time and effort spent on administrative tasks.
Effective supplier discovery and supplier information management are critical for the sourcing process to drive sustainable results, yet many organizations struggle to keep their supplier information current. Strategic sourcing provides the single greatest opportunity to impact the cost, quality, and performance of the supply chain and is among the quickest paths to lower costs and improved revenues. But increased globalization, soaring energy and commodity costs, and tightening supply markets have kept many companies from achieving their full sourcing potential.
