Driving Procurement Transformation at Inchcape
Thursday, 5th Sept, 2019 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM BST
Procurement leaders recognise that digital transformation is fundamentally changing their role in the organisation, empowering them to move beyond tactical services to a strategic role in driving the business to increased profitability and reduced risk through the supply chain.
Join this webinar, featuring guest speaker Shaun Carroll, Group Supply Chain Director at Inchcape, to hear first hand how the global distributor and retailer of premium and luxury cars transformed their sourcing and procurement processes to deliver measurable business results.
In particular, this webinar will explore how Inchcape:
• Improved control and visibility into spend with end-to-end audit.
• Achieved greater compliance by making it easier to do business with preferred suppliers and negotiated contracts.
• Consolidated a fragmented vendor base to leverage global scale and competitive advantage.
In addition, we’ll also share new Business Spend Management benchmarks drawn from $1+ trillion in actual business spend managed by high-performing organisations, which can be easily applied to your business.
