Is an Enporion Product Sourcing Agreement
right for your strategic sourcing process?
Enporion Product Sourcing Agreements (ESAs) are the quickest way to delivering sourcing savings on your bottom line. Your company can immediately join an existing Enporion product sourcing agreement for a product category, or you can choose to let us develop a sourcing agreement specifically for you by using a robust strategic sourcing process and our deep industry knowledge. We can also provide full category management support and customization of agreements for your company.
Your company should consider a strategic product sourcing agreement if:
- The constant pressure of rising costs combined with resource constraints is impacting your company's category sourcing processes and activities.
- Category domain expertise limits your company's ability to source and implement an effective contract.
- Low buying volume hinders your ability to obtain the best prices or terms from suppliers
- There is a desire to focus your resources on different or other strategic categories and initiatives.
- Immediate savings and close operational control of the contract are of the essence.
