Whether you work for a smaller sized business where all employees wear the ‘procurement’ hat at one time or another or work for a large company with a dedicated procurement department, you will do better if you learn how to put tactical procurement to work in your organization.
Buying Procurement Software can be a tricky exercise. The investments that go into hardware and software, either associated with each other or for other independent activities is hefty and it is imperative for any business to try and keep costs low while not compromising on the quality of the procurement software. There are many things to consider while purchasing any hardware or software. Here are the top 10 things to consider before buying procurement software.
When it comes to business, changes will take place from time to time and staying updated is a necessity. Common sense? For some, but surprisingly enough there are still certain things that every business owner finds a comfortable zone and stays there. The ability to be flexible and adapt to these changes in order to sustain the normal operation of your business is key.
As the role of PROCUREMENT continues to increase in scope and importance across organizations, more people are looking at exactly what makes great procurement professionals. While there was a time when procurement was an afterthought for many organizations, its increased role means organizations are looking for talented individuals who can deliver the results needed to thrive. Because countless organizations simply don’t know what they should look for in a procurement professional, we want to provide some clarity by highlighting the five traits that matter most:
Learn Why Companies Should Care About Spend Analytics
Anyone who has come into contact with Spend Analytics knows they can provide clear information on spending activity. While that can be useful, the reason companies should care about these types of analytics is the information they can offer goes beyond just spending. Specifically, it can help a company increase productivity. It can also boost savings by making it possible to streamline existing purchase-to-pay practices.
Inventory Management Software helps in increasing the efficiency of SMBs: A highly effective inventory management software solution is much more than merely controlling the inventory.
Despite more CPOs reporting directly to CFOs, as well as lots of talk about the importance of synergy between PROCUREMENT and finance, many organizations still keep these functions in very distinct silos. If your organization has more space than you’d like between the two departments, the good news is bringing them together can be a relatively smooth process. A big part of why organizations can find a lot of success by bringing procurement and finance into closer alignment is the two departments already have a lot in common. So with that in mind, here are a handful of steps that can be very useful in encouraging successful collaboration:
There are a variety of reasons why a company may make an acquisition. If a company is growing quickly, one of the most compelling reasons to make an acquisition is it can accelerate growth. Whether it’s talent or innovations, an acquisition in this type of scenario can shorten the amount of time it takes to hit the next milestone.
Looking At The State Of Procurement In 2016 And Beyond
If you asked a group of analysts to describe PROCUREMENT in a single word, there’s a good chance that at least one analyst would choose the word magnetic. The reason for using that specific word is there’s a magnetic quality to the way that procurement attracts certain types of individuals. In fact, there are some cases where that word also applies to procurement’s ability to repulse other types of people.
Another word that might be used is regrouping. Most analysts would peg the state of procurement at about twenty years into using technology, and a little bit longer for strategic sourcing. There are a lot of indicators that point towards a significant amount of AUTOMATION, simplification and streamlining happening to procurement in the near future. Big data and AI are also two variables that are very likely to directly impact procurement.
Continuing with the theme of describing procurement in a single word, executing is another potential option, as well as enabling. And for analysts who take a more critical view of procurement, uninspiring may very well be the first word that comes to mind. While there’s no denying the fact that procurement has come a long way, those on the more critical side of the fence feel that procurement has still failed to make as much progress as it should have in recent years. That being said, even the most critical analysts are still primarily bullish on the future of procurement.
What Does the Title CPO Mean Now and Moving Forward?
In most organizations, reporting from the CPO first goes through the CIO, COO or CFO before reaching the CEO. However, most procurement experts agree that putting a layer between a CPO and CEO is not ideal. That’s why so many professionals are working hard to demonstrate and educate about the strategic value that procurement can deliver to an organization.
In addition to increasing the visibility of many CPOs, numerous procurement departments are being very proactive in their efforts to attract the absolute best talent possible. The reason for this talent push is procurement is at its best when it’s proactive. By recognizing trends as they’re happening, procurement can identify things like bad recommendations or PURCHASES and remedy them before they become problematic. That stance is reflected in the type of visionary attitude that’s been adopted by many of the best CPOs.
Given the fact that the title of CPO came into mainstream usage in the nineties, it’s still a relatively new position. But due to the type of people who have come into this position and their push for things like knowledge, the profile of this position will only continue to increase. And as it does, so will salaries for this very important leadership role.

Contracts are crucial for enterprises. Without them, there wouldn’t be a way to cement the relationships that enterprises have with their SUPPLIERS. Given that suppliers are the source of goods and services that enterprises require to remain functional, it’s easy to understand why contracts are something that need to be taken seriously. Although CONTRACTS serve a very important function for enterprises, that doesn’t mean they’re always handled properly.

The low initial cost of SaaS applications is very enticing to a small businesses and there is no large outflow of capital to set up an application on the computers used by the company. SaaS applications are charged based on the subscription rates per user and any additional charges for storage or bandwidth usage. So the business ends up paying for only the actual use by its employees.
When it comes time to make purchases and plans for future purchases where does the money come from when the budget is often very tight? By measuring the cost savings when it comes to crucial items for an organization, purchasing managers can demonstrate to the company executives/board and other decision-makers how money can be repurposed through proper spend management.
Getting an advanced training and education comes with many benefits. The employee and the employer benefit in different ways. The trained employee will be an asset to the company and his services will bring about positive changes and progress in the organization.

Today we wanted to share links to some different articles and topics appearing in the news. Take a look and see if these spark some ideas of things you could be doing in your role as purchasing manager or maybe some things you shouldn’t be doing!
There are many opportunities for people to act or present themselves as a supplier to commit fraud. If you know what to look it will be easier to spot the red flags and prevent your company from paying false, inflated, or duplicate invoices.
Today, we wanted to take another look at the job changes for purchasing managers, but from a slightly different angle; instead of looking at geographic moves there is also the option of changing industries.
