Practical procurement insights for growing businesses

The Procurement Process
Procurement. The word alone can make eyes glaze over faster than you can say “request for quotation”. But here’s the thing – done well, procurement isn’t just about buying stuff. It’s about strategy, influence, and making your business look way more organised than it sometimes is.

Procurement & Purchasing What’s The Real Difference
You’ve probably heard people use “procurement” and “purchasing” like they’re interchangeable. They’re not. One is about strategy, negotiation, and setting your business up to win. The other is about… well… buying stuff. And yes, you need both — but confusing them can cost you money, time, and more sanity than you can spare.
