Why Procurement Intake is Broken in Emerging Markets
Unstructured Request Channels
Intake happens via emails, chats, or spreadsheetsโcausing delays and miscommunication.
Broken Approval Workflows
Approvals stall due to unclear routing, role confusion, and lack of visibility.
Weak Policy Enforcement
Inconsistent controls result in maverick spending and compliance risks.
Siloed Systems, Zero Traceability
Disconnected ERPs and procurement tools limit visibility into spend and actions.
