News and insights from the PA team
We should stop overpaying for digital procurement solutions
An uncomfortable thought: Are procurement teams paying too much for their own digital solutions? Read this intriguing take on Spend Matters from Procure Analytics’s own Suja Katarya and our friend Edmund Zagorin at Bid Ops.
PPE INDUSTRY NEWS
We continue to see supply constraints for nitrile gloves. Only a few plants in Malaysia produce most of the nitrile gloves for the global supply chain. We expect increased demand for these items as the vaccine reaches distribution stage. Fortunately, our COVID task force continues to scour the market for new supply sources. Reach out to us for PPE sourcing assistance.
