Centralized Procurement


Glossary

What is Centralized Procurement?

Centralized procurement is a structured system wherein a single team or department oversees all purchasing and procurement activities for the organization. This model centralizes decision-making, enabling automation and integration within a dedicated procurement platform. The result is end-to-end visibility and the elimination of duplicated efforts.

The choice to adopt a centralized procurement model is often driven by business priorities, particularly in optimizing inventory levels and enhancing supplier visibility. With centralized procurement, organizations benefit from increased purchasing volume, potentially driving down costs.
