Building supply chain resilience and agility requires procurement teams to evaluate suppliers more rigorously using a more strategic, analytics driven approach to the upstream procurement activities using sourcing, vendor management and downstream activities such as contract management and supplier expediting.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4613138 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4613138\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Most ERP systems offer some out of the box or bolt-on procurement modules that can get the job done. On the surface, that sounds great.
