Traditionally, organizations across industries have been engaging with third-party Procurement Outsourcing (PO) service providers to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies in their procurement functions. With increasing emphasis on delivering business outcomes, service providers are investing in value creation levers such as service delivery automation, advanced analytics, and category expertise to act as strategic partners for organizations in their procurement transformation journeys.
