Let’s take a closer look at the distinctions between procurement and sourcing processes now that we’ve broken them down.
Process Elements
Because sourcing is a subset, it’s a simpler process with fewer moving parts. Internal needs are defined, vendors are sought, sourcing events are planned, and providers are evaluated.
Procurement, on the other hand, includes sourcing, purchasing (putting purchase orders, receiving orders, and making payments), data analysis, contract management, and supplier relationship management.
As you can see, effective communication between procurement and sourcing teams is critical to the seamless operation of a business.
To ensure that a company only interacts with effective suppliers, sourcing requires data.
In order to produce an accurate spend prediction and increase cost savings, procurement requires statistics gathered by sourcing.
The correct procurement technology can assist you in centralizing all sourcing and procurement data and improving coordination between procurement and sourcing teams.
Sourcing is a subcategory of procurement that focuses on selecting and negotiating with suppliers.
On the other hand, is concerned with procuring products and services as well as ensuring the supply of essential commodities.
Furthermore, sourcing is in charge of developing supply systems and vendor connections, whereas procurement is in charge of procuring items.
On-site, near-shore, and off-shore resources are all part of Eicra’s delivery approach. When directing large sourcing projects or managing an entire category, on-site resources engage more directly with clients and stay more connected.
Supply chain may and should provide value to that 70 percent of revenue in a variety of ways. Some of the more obvious responses include:
Cost optimization entails getting the most bang for your buck.
Spend transparency — ensuring that supplier spend and data are transparent.
Effective contracts and contract management – risk management
Process optimization – utilizing technology and techniques to make purchasing easier
Bringing in fresh ideas from suppliers (to a business) is an example of innovation.
The reality is that each procurement customer may have a different perspective on what “value” means.
