Suppliers are one of a sourcing team’s most important and influential constituencies. While spend owners and other stakeholders are influential to the success of any sourcing professional, it is the supplier that has the greatest direct impact on the results that the sourcing team delivers to the company.
Join this Webinar to Make a New Year’s Resolution that Your Suppliers Can Celebrate!
Many e-sourcing and e-auction tools have dampened supplier relationships, negotiations, and competitiveness. In 2013, CombineNet can help you work more collaboratively with suppliers through an improved and more advanced e-sourcing process to find win-win solutions to common supply challenges. Whether it’s finding greater efficiencies that reduce costs for both buyer and supplier, or tapping supplier creativity to drive innovation in products or services, measuring suppliers on the total value they provide should be at the top of your list for New Year’s resolutions in E-Sourcing!
Attend this webcast to learn more about:
- How CombineNet’s Expressive Bidding® approach enables suppliers to put their best foot forward and better meet your needs as a buying organization.
- How creative ideas from suppliers can create new value that goes beyond line-item cost reductions.
- New ways of communicating with suppliers during e-sourcing events, such as Expressive Feedback, to guide more strategic and competitive proposals.
- The power of an optimization-based bid analysis process, and its role in measuring a supplier’s fit for your organization.
We will share specific examples and case studies to help you understand how next-generation e-sourcing technology has helped other customers turn over a new leaf with suppliers. This is one New Year’s Resolution that pays dividends all year long.
