Why Outsourcing Tail spend management a priority?

Definition : Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in procurement is the practice of outsourcing all or part of a company’s purchasing administration to an external service provider.

Why: Procurement outsourcing creates a business model that reduces internal costs while increasing the company’s performance and competitiveness. The company thus achieves a competitive advantage by focusing its teams on high value-added purchasing projects that are essential to its development.

Tail Spend = 5% of expenditure but 45% of supplier creation!

By outsourcing tail spend, you regain control over your strategic purchases.

Each order is placed with BME for a specific vendor.
