What you need to know to enjoy effective
supplier relationship management
The link between your suppliers and your success
Your suppliers play a critical role in the internal operations of your business despite being an external force.
Ensuring that the relationship between your business and its key suppliers is managed smoothly is paramount to procurement success.
We understand the vulnerability of procurement operations and supply chains. That said, businesses tend to overcomplicate the processes that mitigate procurement risks.
This is often as easy as developing strong relationships with the various stakeholders in your business. Whether this is between an organisation and its customers or an organisation and its suppliers, the value of personal relationships is often underestimated.
Supplier relationship management, in particular, helps you build long-lasting relationships with your suppliers. These relationships support your operations, help you achieve greater efficiency, and formulate strategic crisis management and recovery plans.
Supplier relationship management makes these critical interactions an integral part of your operations. It helps you plan your interactions with your suppliers and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your network. In short, it helps you gain higher value from what your suppliers are offering you.
