Indirect procurement teams are predominately focused on managing company spending; hence they then tend to have more of a transactional relationship with suppliers than their direct procurement counterparts. When focusing on cost savings, most companies put their focus on their Direct Spend, which typically represents only 20% of your suppliers. Yet, within your Indirect Spend, reside 100s/1000 of critical suppliers, supporting your Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) production spares vital to your operational production.
