What Is Strategic Sourcing?

Strategic sourcing aims at providing a company with a single, integrated system through digitizing documents, participating in a digital business network, and automating workflows, in this way facilitating the process of finding the best suppliers and improving profitability. The key four steps of strategic sourcing include:
areas-1

Data collection and spend analysis

With all the data coming into one place, companies can get a clear picture of their spending and make intelligent decisions to streamline their vendors.

areas-2

Supplier discovery and RFx

Access to the supplier data through a unified digital business network and posting of RFPs there ensures the ability to get all the essential business information about their potential suppliers.

areas-3

Negotiations and contracting

To speed up processes related to contract management and make them more effective and result-oriented, companies can take advantage of various automated tools.

areas-4

Implementation and optimization

The digitalized and automated environment allows companies to achieve their goals faster by providing a clear vision of their weak points and potential growth areas.
