𝐍𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲. 𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐍𝐨 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.
We label it ''Indirect'' but to your customers:
🔷 Marketing shapes your 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲
🔷 Logistics shapes your 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭
🔷 IT shapes your 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬
🔷 Customer Services shapes your 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲
When this spend isn’t actively managed, it’s not just procurement missing from the table, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝.

It is: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 35% 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?
