LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A thorough understanding of the supply chain is essential to making informed decisions about purchases and supplier relationships.

Procurement market intelligence study sheds light on facilities management services
Facilities management is an important but somewhat overlooked role. The spaces where people work, including offices, warehouses, and many others, need to be maintained and organized in order for that work to go smoothly. A leading pharmaceutical company recently approached SpendEdge for a procurement intelligence study to help select and manage suppliers of integrated facilities management services.
The client was seeking to understand supplier profiles, market trends and challenges, and risk mitigation strategies. This study helped them analyze the cost structure, pricing models, service level agreement aspects, and perceived risks in an integrated facility management engagement. In just five weeks, the client identified cost-saving opportunities and was able to capitalize on supplier performance through implementation of supplier relationship management.
