Indirect supplies (Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO), Office, Print, Promotion, Janitorial and Sanitation) spending is also a challenging area for companies of all sizes to control. Because these items are used by a broader set of employees, it can be hard to properly track and maintain adequate data visibility relating to these purchases. This opens the door for off-contract buying and maverick spending, which drives up costs. But for middle-market companies, there is a more fundamental hurdle to achieving maximized cost savings in this category and that is their size. Without the size and volume of a large firm, these middle market firms are often not able to get the best prices available but this doesn’t have to be the case.
