I went down to Barry’s Bikes in my hometown to buy some inner tubes from the bike shop that had been a fixture in my town for decades. Sadly, my bicycle tires are still flat because Barry’s storefront was shuttered. To console myself over the loss of this beloved local landmark, I decided to bake a carrot cake, but I was out of baking powder. At the grocer, the entire shelf of baking ingredients was bare.

How much do you enjoy routine tasks such as updating dozens of price lists, generating purchase requests, and entering and reviewing information for multiple suppliers? Many tasks in procurement are repetitive, tedious, time-consuming and, when performed by humans, highly error prone. They absorb precious time – time that could be spent on more important strategic tasks that add value to the organization and make work more satisfying and rewarding for a procurement professional.
