Keeping control with an effective MRO strategy

 MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) or Indirect Procurement, is critical for businesses- even if you don’t realize it. In fact, keeping a close eye on your MRO is an excellent way of keeping your budget tight and save money.

MRO refers to the products that go into keeping the business running, but not into any actual products. This can include consumables like cleaning or office supplies, computers, furniture, etc. While it might not seem much compared to more regular expenses, it can add up quickly, and if you don’t keep an eye on your indirect procurement, you can spend more money than you intend to. Thankfully, you don’t need to cut down on purchasing; you just need to be smart about how you purchase.

A good MRO strategy is crucial to a good business. Keeping an eye on the hidden costs associated with this kind of spending can keep your expenses tidy, and boost your profits too by being efficient with how you spend. And while, certainly, being smart about these kind of purchases is good, individual MRO purchases come with the own set of hidden costs. While the end result might be a cheaper purchase than normal, the time spent  seeking out high quality but inexpensive goods often ends with the price saved just being lost to the expense of the lost work time. So how can you avoid that?

The answer is simple; outsource your Indirect Procurement. By hiring a procurement agency, you can save time and money together. Organizations like SourceApart have preexisting global databases of vendors that we can easily negotiate with and help get you quality products for excellent prices. Not only are you saving money on your purchase, due to us reducing the price further than could be done on your own, you’re also saving money by not spending time working on it.
