Supply Chain and Procurement: Leading in the New Reality 

Global supply chains have been hit by unprecedented workload and, as such, companies have had to adjust their operations and identify opportunities to stay agile. In this environment, the most resilient businesses are taking the time to evaluate their strategy, both for how to manage cash and for how to build robust and resilient supply chains. It has become even more critical to have the systems in place to manage business spend and optimise processes so that budget can be prioritised and invested where it is most impactful. 

Thriving in the ‘new normal’ will depend on leveraging industry data and benchmarks, digital initiatives and alternate solutions for inefficient paper invoicing and other manual, low-value transactional processes. Investing in digital technology can also enhance our ability to gain holistic spend visibility and control.
