LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpendEdge, a well-known procurement intelligence solution provider, has announced the completion of their latest category management study for an MRO service provider.
MRO supply companies offer a multitude of products and services that are crucial for day-to-day operations. However, due to the large decentralized user base and millions of items and transactions, their MRO supply category has a higher chance of spend leakage. They need to identify opportunities and prioritize initiatives to determine all the sources available for spend optimization across all departments and business units to gauge the growing the market opportunities. They require efficient MRO supply models that can drive compliance throughout the organization and ensure spend efficiency through continuous monthly audits, post-implementation.
According to the procurement experts at SpendEdge, “It is crucial for MRO supply companies to leverage spend analysis solutions across different supply chain categories and identify the tail spend opportunities to minimize spend leakage and achieve savings."
