Supplies & Services
Most companies today utilize the latest procurement tools: spend analytics, reverse auctions, e-procurement, etc., in order to source office supplies more efficiently. Despite these tools, the ability to audit, benchmark and optimize office supply spend remains limited for two main reasons:
- Office supply invoices identify products by SKU, not the Universal Product Code (UPC).
- Continuous auditing and benchmarking against the marketplace for pricing per SKU and normalizing data by multiple vendors needs to take place. This exercise can become futile based on the sheer volume of SKUs and invoices.
- Bid Results (RFP, Reverse Auctions) do not match 100% apples-to-apples.
- Substitution occurs frequently
- Units of measure frequently don't match from vendor to vendor.
- New Product introductions and product deletions change significantly over the course of a contract (just take a look at your vendor's current catalog and notice all the "new" products).
By leveraging our deep office supply expertise and proprietary technology, we can ensure that our customers' office supply programs have the ability to be:
