Transferring management of the procurement and supply process allows you to:
– Build purchasing processes in the required direction or for the entire volume of purchases
– Reduce payroll costs by transferring hiring, training and personnel management
– Obtain favorable conditions for the cost of purchases, consolidate purchases from different companies, increase the volume of the transaction and thereby receive more favorable conditions
– Reduce paperwork by receiving an invoice from one Supplier
– Improve the quality of the procurement process: selection/verification/competition among suppliers
– Manage the seasonality of purchases
– Ensure cost transparency, analytics, reporting
– Interact with a dedicated personal manager
– Outsourcing of supplier and procurement management is necessary when
– The company is growing rapidly, but the purchasing department cannot cope
– The company interacts with many suppliers, has many contracts in each category, large volume of purchases and high transaction costs

– One-time, unpredictable purchases arise

When and for which companies is outsourcing of procurement and supply relevant:
- When the volume of purchases is small or they are carried out rarely, it is not profitable to have your own supplier. The Company has the opportunity to entrust the work (or part of the work) on supply to an outsourcer, while they themselves concentrate on developing their business.
- When you have to make atypical purchases, and the competence of existing buyers is not enough. In this case, employees of the supply department can focus on core (volume-generating) purchases, and the involvement of an outsourcer helps to increase the overall efficiency of procurement (achieving a higher level of savings on purchased goods and services) without additional investments in organizing the process.
- When procurement is carried out by technical specialists (administrator, HR manager, etc.) who do not have the necessary market knowledge. For many Companies, supply is not a priority area of activity. But, at the same time, without organizing a competent procurement and delivery scheme for goods, an organization simply cannot develop while carrying out its commercial activities.
