Efficient Procurement.

Procurement is an investment in your business. The time and resource of your procurement team, large or small, is spent on key tasks, including:

• Managing vendor and supplier relationships
• Maintaining visibility of spend – potentially across multiple locations and geographies
• Standardising on a product catalogue, to improve operational efficiency
• Management of vendor agreements (subscriptions, renewals etc)
• Streamlining the cost of items and of processes
• Releasing time for procurement of strategic assets

These tasks quickly mount up and maintaining focus on strategic activities that add value to your business can become a challenge. Working with a partner who takes the time to understand your environment and works with you to ensure it is as effective and as streamlined as possible is key.

Procurement often focusses on reducing the cost of an item at the point of procurement. That is only a part of the jigsaw. What comes before, during and after – representing the full lifecycle of engaging with a strategic partner - ensures the best possible return on your investment.

Streamlining the core day-to-day purchasing activities of your business ensures that your procurement team has the time to engage strategically with suppliers and vendors. Utilising the automation built in to Bechtle’s European-wide platform ensures:
