Rethinking Spend Management: Mastering a continuous approach

Tired of scrambling? Nix the last-minute panic and rediscover your negotiation edge with a continuous spend management approach. While the procurement process is cyclical in nature, teams often treat it in a linear fashion. Typically, they only monitor purchases a few months (or weeks) ahead of the purchase or renewal, and then set-and-forget once signed. This results in duplicative work and missed opportunities.

By shifting to a continuous strategy, procurement teams can leverage real-time data, streamline negotiations, and achieve optimal pricing and terms. Discover how to implement this approach and gain tactical insights from procurement expert KR Barron as she unveils how to:

• Get a head start on renewals, without adding to your workload.
• Discover automation hacks that free up your time for strategic negotiations.
• Prepare for multiple renewals at once and negotiate with confidence.
• Ensure alignment across teams for seamless spend management.
