In a world where nearly any purchase is just a click away, keeping maverick spend in check has become one of the top challenges facing procurement. The vast majority of maverick or “rogue” spending happens for perfectly innocent reasons: convenience, laziness, ignorance, or people just being in a hurry.

In the manufacturing industry, around 37% of total costs consist of inventory costs, while for retailers and wholesalers even more than half of the total costs are caused by inventory.
I do not believe in horoscopes but people are telling me that my sign has everything to do with many of my quirks such as ordering, organizing and following routines. Putting things in order is my natural tendency. Organizing or clustering drawers, shelves, libraries or desktops, whether digital or not, is like a second nature to me. I am always the one putting caps on the pens, closing open lids or cupboards, and straightening the frames on the walls.

Registrations were closed last week, but not before the take-up had been way ahead of expectations and last year’s event.
