What is Vendor Optimization?
Vendor optimization weaves together key exercises like:
1. Vendor Rationalization: Streamlines your vendor base by eliminating redundant or underperforming vendors, simplifying processes and potentially reducing costs.
2. Vendor Consolidation: Merges purchases with fewer, better-performing vendors, leveraging economies of scale for negotiation advantages and cost savings.
3. Vendor Benchmarking: Compares existing vendors against industry best practices, identifying areas for improvement and driving them to compete for your business.
4. Vendor Risk Management: Mitigates potential risks like financial instability, operational disruptions, GRC, Cyber, ESG, and SLA violations, ensuring vendor reliability and alignment.
These exercises work in tandem. Rationalization and consolidation pave the way for better relationships, facilitating benchmarking and risk management. Strong partnerships then foster collaboration and innovation, further optimizing your vendor ecosystem.
In essence, vendor optimization goes beyond just cost savings. It’s about creating a network of reliable, high-performing vendors who contribute to your overall business success.
