Companies opting for procurement outsourcing don’t seem to be happy with it and there are number of factors behind this dissatisfaction. Though they have struck good deals but still they still seem to be unhappy about it. There are a number of indirect procurement challenges which are causing dissatisfaction with regards to cost effectiveness of the indirect procurement services.
Even though companies have to reduce their cost of indirect goods and service still they are facing a lot of problems for managing their large number of suppliers due to a host of reasons such as lack of common indirect procurement, lack of adequate breadth of internal category management expertise and lack of common indirect procurement system.
Some of the other problems which are being faced are lack of information for managing suppliers and lack of market knowledge besides lack of visibility regarding indirect spending. Most of the companies are willing to access external expertise but the problems stated above need to be sorted out first.
