time, its core is still tied to keeping purchasing costs low and ensuring that INVENTORY remains properly stocked.

While those tasks may seem fairly straightforward, if you take a step back and look at them, it becomes clear that they impact many areas of a business. From ensuring that margins are strong to enabling a business to properly service its customers, a lot of what a business does relies on procurement.

The Benefits of a Procurement Approval System

Now that we’ve clarified why procurement is so important to a business, it’s time to explain exactly how a procurement approval system will benefit a company. Because this type of system guides the entire procurement process, it covers REQUISITION, approval, purchase and RECEIPT OF GOODS.

The first reason this type of system is beneficial is because it ensures business is only done with approved suppliers. Second, it requires a valid purchase in order to obtain goods or services. Third, this type of system encourages supplier competition, which in turn can lead to more favorable pricing.

Fourth, information like confidential procurement practices are properly safeguarded. And finally, a procurement approval system not only minimizes conflicts of interest, but also provides a system for dealing with any that arise. Because a procurement approval system has so much to offer a company, the only question left to answer is how to best implement one.
