Harness The Power of Indirect Procurement

Optimising your procurement methods is essential for keeping competitive and fostering growth in today’s fast-paced corporate environment. Indirect procurement is just as crucial for streamlining procedures, cutting costs, and improving overall efficiency. It is the process of purchasing goods and services that are optional for creating a company’s goods and services. The phrase “indirect spend” or “MRO” (maintenance, repair, and services) is frequently used to describe these products and services.
