Frequently asked questions
What is spend analytics in procurement?+
Spend analytics is the practice of collecting, cleansing, classifying, and analyzing purchasing data to see exactly what an organization buys, from whom, and at what price. It surfaces savings opportunities, maverick spend, and supplier concentration risk. Reliable spend analysis depends on clean supplier and category master data, and it is the starting point for strategic sourcing.
What is the procure-to-pay process?+
Procure-to-pay (P2P) is the end-to-end process from identifying a need to paying the supplier: requisition, purchase order, receipt, invoice matching, and payment. It connects procurement and accounts payable so purchases are authorized, received, and paid correctly. Streamlining P2P reduces PO processing time, invoice errors, and maverick spend.
How do you measure supplier performance?+
Supplier performance is measured on delivery (on-time and in-full), quality (defect and reject rate), cost and price adherence, responsiveness, and compliance with contract terms. These metrics roll into a supplier scorecard reviewed on a regular cadence. InfoSun runs supplier performance management as managed operations so ratings drive sourcing decisions and corrective action.
What is the difference between sourcing and procurement?+
Sourcing is the strategic work of finding, evaluating, and contracting suppliers to meet a need at the right cost, quality, and risk. Procurement is the broader function that includes sourcing plus the operational execution of buying: purchase orders, receiving, and payment. In short, sourcing selects suppliers; procurement runs the full buying cycle.
What are the benefits of supplier collaboration?+
Supplier collaboration improves forecast sharing, order confirmation, and issue resolution, which cuts lead-time surprises, expedites, and stockouts. Shared visibility through a supplier portal reduces manual PO chasing and email back-and-forth. Stronger collaboration typically improves on-time delivery and lowers total cost.
What is a supplier scorecard?+
A supplier scorecard is a structured rating of a supplier against agreed KPIs such as on-time delivery, defect rate, price adherence, and responsiveness. It turns subjective supplier opinions into measured performance and drives fact-based sourcing and improvement conversations. InfoSun builds and maintains scorecards and runs the review cadence with suppliers.
