Integrated vs overlapping systems
Management of Tail-Spend is resource-intensive, due to a large volume of products from a large selection of individual suppliers. As the expenditure is lower per supplier, the opportunity to save is reduced relative to the procurement activity required. This can often lead to a vicious cycle, with the high cost of administration and poor delivery of savings, eading to pressure to reduce resource even further.
