Short-term savings or long-term value creation?

Jan 6, 2026

Many organizations choose a procurement organization to quickly reduce costs. But is that really the smartest choice? A sourcing advisor looks beyond the first invoice. Through sharp, substantive inquiries, market knowledge, and a focus on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), you build sustainable partnerships and future-proof contracts.

The difference?
👉 Procurement organization: quick savings, but the risk of suboptimal agreements.
👉 Sourcing advisor: strategic choices, control over quality, and a lower TCO in the long term.

At SourceMinds, we believe that sourcing is not a cost center, but a strategic lever. What's your perspective? Do you choose short-term or sustainable value?
