Procurement is the future. Think Strategically
Procurement is often mistaken for purchasing. But both are different concepts in terms of the tasks involved and also what they accomplish. While purchasing is a specific function in procurement that aims to buy goods at an affordable price, procurement takes a holistic view of the entire process focusing on preparing a procurement strategy as per the company goals, supplier selection and management and also ensuring sustainable procurement.
What is procurement?
Procurement is the process of sourcing and acquiring goods from a third party to fulfill the needs of an organization. It is a strategic process that involves identifying the needs of the organization, finding the right suppliers, building long-term supplier relationships, managing risks in procurement, negotiating with suppliers and creating contracts. The main focus of procurement is to ensure the profitability of the organization in the long run while focusing on the value and return of investment. While purchasing is concerned only about the acquisition of goods, procurement is an ongoing function that continuously looks after supplier relationships, internal needs, market trends and supply chain costs.
