There’s nothing like tracking how much money is lost though non compliance of agreements to focus everyone’s mind. Working within the arrangements that have been put in place is critical to ensuring that you benefit from cost and purchasing management reviews, indeed the level of compliance we report back to clients at each supply audit is an indicator of the level of buy in from stakeholders throughout the business.
