Purchasing: avoid pitfalls

Also, are you looking for the best strategic partnerships to reduce costs, improve processes and increase profits? Avoid the pitfalls of a low purchasing maturity:

  • A lack of interaction between purchasing and the business.
  • Hidden risks such as single sourcing, culture differences, etc.
  • Insufficient M&A purchasing synergies.

This path will increase the maturity of your purchasing actions and hence avoid pitfalls.
