What’s the one sourcing headache you’re done dealing with?
Contracts disappear when we need them most.
When operations had to be refranchised, we couldn’t locate contracts tied to active spend. Sourcing teams searched sharepoint sites, filing cabinets, desk drawers, and even called suppliers for copies.
No paper trail, when leadership asks
Once, a $1M PO landed on the CEO’s desk, and he asked for the signed RFQ and pricing rationale. We couldn’t find either in time. Imagine.
Requests arrive half‑baked.
Requirements come in bits and pieces across emails, meetings, and hallway chats. I’m left stitching together what I have and trying to figure out what’s missing.
We lose visibility the moment we award
Once the supplier is selected, everything moves into emails and shared folders. Tracking status, obligations, and next steps becomes manual.
Negotiation history lives in memory.
Past concessions, walk-away points, and pricing aren’t documented anywhere. Negotiations restart from scratch every time someone new steps in.

These are the challenges your peers have shared. The moments that slow them down, drain time, or create friction where none should exist.

What leaders said out loud
At the 2025 APAC Procurement Summit, we asked leaders the same question. Live.
No scripts. No polish. Just honest answers from procurement leaders.

Why we’re asking
Procurement teams still deal with unclear requirement, slow handoffs, and scattered information. Over time, these issues add friction and slow down your progress.
Hence, we want to understand which sourcing activity you want to do away with so that you can move faster with clarity.
Your inputs will help build what comes next.
