Purchasing & Procurement
Are you paying more for your materials or services than you think you should or thought you would? Do you know what it is you need to buy from month to month? Are you having a hard time managing your cash flow or paying your vendors? Do you have too many or too few vendors? Are your current vendors meeting your needs?
Purchasing and procurement are often one of the most overlooked and undervalued processes within any organization. This is especially true for the small business and entrepreneur. Depending on the profit margins of your product or service approximately 2-5% of every dollar in sales filters through all of your overhead and lands on the bottom line in pre-tax profit. That’s two to five cents for every dollar. Conversely, 100% of every dollar saved in the concentrated efforts of your purchasing staff goes straight to the bottom line. As Ben Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
