Mitigating procurement risks in a post-COVID world – Leveraging TradeEdge Spend Analytics to respond to supply chain challenges
According to a survey by McKinsey, visibility, transparency, and data-driven decision-making will become non-negotiable for every business’ supply chain.
The COVID-19 outbreak is compelling enterprises to relook their global supply chain models. Without a thorough business continuity plan in place, most large enterprises are experiencing major disruptions to their supply chain operations — from identifying at-risk suppliers to understanding hidden risks in contracts.
Resilience through risk mitigation is more crucial than ever. As economies are looking to rebound, procurement leaders are turning to AI technologies to build greater resilience to help them deal with unexpected disruptions. Leveraging emerging technologies such as AI calls for a robust procurement risk management strategy. As companies scramble to understand key matters, including the application of the force majeure clause and its impact on contracts, projecting stock-out scenarios, and extending the supplier network, resiliency combined with new supply chain technologies is becoming an integral element of the business strategy.
