Recent events like the supplier factory collapse in Bangladesh and Cambodia, horse-meat debacle etc. just go to highlight the role that suppliers play and the kind of impact they can have in any organization’s supply chain. Suppliers have a direct impact on organizations’ product/service quality and competitiveness.

Yet perhaps strangely the suppliers are not always given the focus that we see placed on procurement policies, processes, or category management.

To address this issue, Spend Matters and Zycus together bring to you a webinar that will look into why supplier management in its widest sense might just be the next big thing in procurement, and how the right approach can bring significant benefits for organizations.
