Challenges
Supplier Evaluation Lives in Spreadsheets
Procurement teams manage RFQ responses, supplier comparisons, trust assessments and pricing analysis across separate spreadsheets that are manually maintained, version-controlled by email and inaccessible to the wider team in real time.
Compliance Sign-off Is a Sequential Bottleneck
Every new supplier requires AML, KYB and sanctions screening by a shared compliance team running a manual process. Procurement has to wait for compliance before progressing commercially — a queue-driven bottleneck that lengthens every supplier onboarding cycle.
Contract Drafting Backlog Delays Supplier Activation
Standard supply and service agreements go through a legal drafting queue. Even routine contracts take 2–4 weeks. Each day of delay in supplier activation is a day of lost operational capacity or unmet procurement targets.
Total Cost of Ownership Is Calculated Too Late
Procurement teams evaluate supplier pricing without freight, duties and logistics costs factored in at the selection stage. Total cost of ownership is only calculated after a preferred supplier is selected — sometimes after the contract is already signed.
Advance Payments Create Cash Flow Risk
Paying suppliers in advance on large orders — without escrow — ties up working capital and creates direct exposure to supplier default, non-delivery or quality failure. Finance teams carry this risk without a structural mitigation mechanism.
No Audit Trail for Supplier Selection Decisions
Procurement decision rationale — why a supplier was selected, what due diligence was done, which risks were flagged and accepted — is typically spread across email threads and meeting notes rather than captured in a structured, auditable record.
