Free Webinar · April 28 · 2PM EST
Most procurement teams are losing savings they already negotiated — not to bad vendors, but to purchases that bypass the process. This session shows you exactly where the leaks are and how to close them.
Companies with efficient procurement processes report 15–25% cost savings vs. those running manual workflows.
Free to attend · Live Q&A included
What you'll learn in this webinar
01
Many teams struggle here because purchases happen on credit cards or there's no approval process to review spending before it happens — and even when a PO process exists, employees don't follow it, which results in surprise invoices that impact cash flow. We'll show how to close this gap without slowing your team down.
02
When employees bypass established protocols — a department head buying software on a corporate card, a manager hiring a freelancer without a contract — it undermines the pricing and controls procurement worked hard to put in place. We'll walk through how to make the compliant path easier than the workaround.
03
When employees spread purchasing volume across too many suppliers, the company fails to become a priority client for any of them — and loses the volume discounts that procurement worked to negotiate. We'll cover how to enforce preferred vendor usage at the point of purchase so those negotiated rates actually get captured.
04
Spend reports are accurate. They're also historical. Most controllers spend 10+ hours weekly on procurement-related tasks that could be automated — time that could go toward getting ahead of the spend instead of explaining it after. We'll show what proactive visibility looks like in practice.

Who should attend
If you're responsible for making sure purchases follow the process, this gives you a practical framework to close the gaps your current workflow can't catch.
If you're seeing invoices that don't match POs, month-end surprises, or budget variances you can't trace back to a decision point — the problem usually starts upstream. This session maps it out.
If your company is scaling and you're starting to lose visibility over what's being bought and by whom, this session covers exactly where to start.
