How to Streamline Your Purchasing Department

Make Purchasing Work For You Instead of Against You

In order to put your company in the best position possible to succeed, you need to let your staff do what they are good at and give them the chance to shine. In a recent blog post from our founding brand Superior Business Solutions, my brother and Senior VP, Tim English, outlines how to streamline your purchasing department to maximize performance.

Play to Everyone’s Strengths

Your purchasing team is likely good at what they do when it comes to sourcing and purchasing the materials and equipment necessary to keep your business going forward. These skills do not always translate to some of the more unique purchases that are necessary to your business, such as critical corporate forms customized to incorporate data from different offices, corporate capabilities brochures and customized promotional giveaways. These are tools that are essential to your business, but sourcing these items may not be in your purchasing team’s wheelhouse. It may get handed off to marketing or sales, requiring them to spend time sourcing these items instead of generating leads and sales.
