"Doing more with less" is a common theme across all industries. The 2022 Global SRM Research Report has uncovered that procurement and supply chain cannot be any higher on the board's agenda than now. Yet most procurement and supply chain functions continue to suffer from a legacy of underinvestment.
70%of organisations highlighted labour shortages as the common cause of supply chain disruption in the past 12 months.
55% of organisations reported major challenges in forecasting and demand planning.
60% of organisations increased engagement with suppliers, the most widely reported mitigating action that helps counter supply chain disruption.
In a world where disruption is everywhere, a one-size-fits-all approach will not deliver the required return on investment. Partnering with an organisation who mobilises quickly to respond to your unique requirements is key to your success.

GAINING VALUE BEYOND THE CONTRACT
30% and 50% of incremental value anticipated during re-procurement is never delivered due to poor Supplier Management.
