How can you identify major spend areas?

Major spend areas can be identified through the use of spend analysis. Spend analysis is the process of classifying and analyzing a businesses expenditure, and can be conducted manually or through the use of software solutions. To properly identify major spend areas, businesses should ensure that their spend analysis efforts involve all available sources of spend data, and that they take into account both direct and indirect costs.

What benefits does streamlining these processes provide?

Sourcing and procurement processes should be streamlined in order to reduce unnecessary spending. Streamlining can result in significant cost savings, and can help businesses to improve their procurement strategies; it also saves time, in turn improving production processes. Some of the benefits that streamlining procurement processes provide can depend on a business’s level of procurement function. For example, businesses with more established and mature procurement functions will benefit differently than businesses whose procurement function is at an informal or early stage.

To determine the benefits that streamlining these processes will have, businesses should consider a number of factors, including how effective their current procurement function is at supporting overall business function, strategy, and success. They should also take into consideration the recent outcomes of their negotiations with suppliers and the level of risk that their processes currently involves. Supply market intelligence can help businesses determine how best they can streamline and refine their sourcing processes and ensure that they gain maximum benefits from realigning their strategies.
