👍 8 ways to start decentralising your procurement… It’s a growing trend. Many purchasing departments want to decentralise procurement and gain operational efficiencies. But, doing so is not without risks, such as rogue spending and loss of internal supplier compliance. Here are 8 ways to get decentralised procurement right from the outset: 1️⃣ Establish your objectives, with clear guidelines and spending limits. 2️⃣ Train your regional teams so they make SMART decisions. 3️⃣ Standardise your processes (but allow for regional flexibility). 4️⃣ Choose preferred suppliers and work closely with them. 5️⃣ Collaborate using effective communication channels. 6️⃣ Monitor key performance metrics. 7️⃣ Embrace technology to gain visibility and efficiencies. 8️⃣ Commit to continual improvement and adaptation. Many organisations are turning to single-source suppliers as they decentralise. The move prompts cost efficiencies while reducing invoices (and deliveries). Also, working closely with fewer suppliers ensures you retain control as you move towards decentralised procurement. Want to understand how Office Depot can support your decentralisation goals?
