How does this help Procurement teams?
Before we get into that, its important to mention here that the rates offered by the suppliers have a margin for negotiation depending on the nature of the inquiry. We will assume that the rates uploaded by suppliers are final.
That being said, the first thing that Procurement professionals need to see is which rate they have been procuring at. If they are in the range of, or below, the average prices offered, this means that procurement efficiency was high. It also is important to evaluate suppliers, credit terms, compare rates and quality of the Yarn. Using the data provided by Sutarmandi, Procurement teams can look at the past few months to forecast and plan to purchase for the remainder of the year.
