With rapidly growing complexities of the sourcing environment, expectations out of procurement teams are way beyond cost savings. A company’s operational efficiency and financial integrity depend a lot on procurement contract management. Procurement is indistinguishably linked with contracting, where the team essentially requires drafting, negotiating, signing, and administering vendor and supply contracts at scale. So, it becomes essential to achieve high levels of efficiency.
The right contract management strategy can improve procurement management, but how?
An advanced AI-powered contract management software like Zycus iContract can prepare your procurement teams to strengthen key supplier relationships, stay agile towards untapped opportunities, and have complete visibility in the supplier agreements.
