Administrative Products Procurement Capabilities

Unlike the buyers of MRO products and services or other areas of spend that are specific to one department or function, buyers of administrative products span the entire organization, from marketing and finance to operations and executive management. Numerous suppliers and ordering technologies and methods abound. Loss leaders and confusing contract terms take advantage of end-user buyers with little procurement experience. The result is often a disjointed array of ineffective supplier programs centralized around specific locations or departments.

Maximizing savings in administrative products requires balancing total cost of ownership, service levels and quality with a solution that will achieve high levels of utilization across the organization. ICG Commerce employs a variety of strategies to ensure the highest levels of savings, service and compliance. We can help you optimize your existing incumbent supplier relationship or conduct full scale strategic sourcing. If you are struggling with end-user compliance, our proven implementation programs tailored for administrative products can help you identify and resolve specific issues and rapidly hit your volume commitments. And we make sure you are in control by providing on-going price and supplier performance management. Request more information about our Administrative Products procurement capabilities...
