The Challenge
Managing procurement for services and projects presents unique challenges to companies. Differently from product procurement, buying services such as consulting or legal services requires companies to track units such as billed hours to understand how much they must pay providers. These billed hours can be at different rates to account for the levels of professionals providing services. A partner at a law firm may bill at a higher rate than an associate. Similarly, in project procurement, companies must often track milestones or time and materials, or schedules to pay contractors. Complicating project procurement is the need to also track obligations and payments to subcontractors.
Today services and project procurement is managed with a wide set of disparate, disjointed tools. A company may have one set of applications to find providers, another to assess their risk, a third to contract with them, a fourth to onboard suppliers, another to set deliverables and manage project schedules, Excel spreadsheets to monitor billing rates, still another application to manage the receipt of invoices as well as provide payments. The common result of using disjointed tools is:
- Disagreements on objectives and milestones with contractors and sub-contractors.
- Poor communication with your contractors, resulting in missed project deliverables.
- Cost overruns.
- Schedule overruns.
- Unexpected risks and surprises.
