Comprehensive Sourcing refers to a holistic approach to procurement that involves integrating strategic insights, data-driven decision-making, and advanced technologies across the sourcing lifecycle. This approach goes beyond traditional sourcing methods by addressing both immediate and long-term procurement needs, optimizing supplier relationships, ensuring compliance, and leveraging AI-driven tools for continuous improvement and strategic value creation. Comprehensive Sourcing aims to unlock efficiencies and mitigate risks across the entire Source-to-Pay process.
