‘Business staying in business’ is a responsibility of the procurement function alis sindbjerg hemmingsen


Dispatches - state of the industry

Organizations have complex supply chains with a range of customers and suppliers that influence the way it operates. While customers set specifications and standards that suppliers must meet, suppliers constantly strive to improve the efficiency and profitability of their operations, while simultaneously seeking to delight their customers. Therefore, successful businesses must always be looking for ways to stay competitive. At the same time, we have to open our eyes and start acknowledging and acting on the fact that our resources are threatened. Our economies motivate people and businesses to consume to such a degree that the planet cannot regenerate itself. We have the opportunity to re-think the way we do business.

Dispatches - state of the industry

REVOLUTIONIZE THE PROCUREMENT STRATEGY I typically define Responsible Procurement in the following way: ”Responsible Procurement integrates requirements, specifications and criteria that are compatible and in favour of the protection of the environment, of social progress and in support of economic development by seeking resource efficiency, improving the quality of products and ultimately optimizing costs”. However, some companies see their Responsible Procurement initiatives as pure risk management and use it for compliance purposes. The strategic and operational impact is then, typically, medium to high, though it mitigates operational risks. Improving efficiency, reducing demand for materials and cutting waste all reduce your costs and are good for the business and for the environment. Maximizing these benefits requires you to manage your supply chain and integrate business activities to create value for your customers. Responsible Procurement is about increasing a company’s profit, improving strategic supplier relationships and strengthening the brand while remaining vigilant towards competitors and revolutionizing the procurement strategy to fit the current business landscape. And, of course, at the end of the day: ensuring that “business stays in business”.

future involves the loss of access to key production ingredients or logistics providers, future-proofing attempts to mitigate potential dangers. Trending in the environment of future-proofing supply chains is sustainable procurement. Sustainable procurement has proven that it improves efficiency, effectiveness and transparency for organizations. Furthermore, sustainable sourcing not only improves employee and supplier relationships, it also improves an organization’s reputation among the community and its customers. Lastly, sustainable sourcing can dismantle poor waste disposal practices and reduce energy waste, which improves company spend management. Of course, beyond the business case for sustainable sourcing, ecologically friendly procurement practices are necessary for maintaining our environment.

What benefits can sustainable sourcing provide? Amongst the numerous benefits sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) can provide, the most important benefits include aligning with a green strategy and improving market competitiveness. A green strategy involves reducing waste management costs, trading ethically to attract ethically-conscious customers and reducing resource waste. Improving market competitiveness involves reducing procurement delays by adequately projecting future sourcing activities against potential environmental hazards, government regulations, a shift in customer attitudes towards environmental concerns, as well as changes in supplier relationships. In fact, sustainable sourcing practices can enhance buyer-supplier relationships through increased transparency.


Why is e-procurement often considered the best step towards SSCM?

The Eartheasy STORY Eartheasy was built on the philosophy that we need to protect our natural environment if we want to keep the things we love. Eartheasy is a go-to website that focuses on providing ecofriendly products, guides and articles to its visitors. Eartheasy is a case where sustainable sourcing and procurement became an important enough issue, prompting the founders to share their culture with their customers. Sustainable procurement is incredibly important for the future success of an organization’s supply chain, but also for our environment and planet. The difficulties are not unheard of when considering green procurement strategies, however, the strategic advantage that one could attain can last well into the future. And that’s what they mean when someone talks about future-proofing their supply chain.

Head in the cloud Noted investor and businessman Jeff Epstein talks cloud technology, the procurement space and the classroom in our exclusive interview.

The Future

Menlo Park’s Jeff Epstein, operating partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, knows his way around a startup. As an investor, he’s tasked with finding, evaluating and supporting some of the world’s most promising companies. And, as the former chief financial officer and executive vice president at Oracle, Epstein knows a thing or two about running a massive corporation. An impressive and varied resume, to be sure. In addition to his day-to-day responsibilities in the venture capital world, Epstein uses experience in the classroom as well. Along with Steve Blank, noted creator of the Lean Startup movement, and Steve Weinstein, chief technology officer at Deluxe Services Entertainment Group, Epstein teaches an entrepreneurial course, The Lean Launchpad, at Stanford University. The course is designed for graduate engineering students to “get their hands dirty” and “test the business model” of the startups they’re designing. We caught up with Epstein recently to talk startups, the procurement space and why he invested in Procurify.


Let’s start at the beginning, with a bit of an involved question: what trends, in your opinion, defined the business software of the past? And, what will define the future? For the last 20 years, the biggest, most influential part of enterprise software has been on-premise software from major companies. In the last five to eight years, the biggest trend has been cloud software. There are three very important trends. The first is, if you were buying a lot of software products in an onpremise world, you may have 20 different products from 20 different vendors. The cost of integrating all of this stuff together is enormous. What that lead to was suites of products by very large companies such as Oracle and SAP and IBM. As a result, companies would end up becoming an all Oracle shop or an all SAP shop. They had this phrase, “one throat to choke,” because something always went wrong and people wanted “one throat to choke” when it did. In the cloud world, it is very different. If you are buying cloud software, you have no software and no hardware in your own building – it’s all online and delivered through the Internet. The major cloud software companies have all built easy-to-use integrations with each other. So, it’s pretty easy to buy 20 cloud software products from 20 different vendors and have them all work well together. As a result, the optimal choice has moved from a suite to best of breed.

Now, we’ve all used consumer applications such as Gmail or shopped on Amazon. These applications are beautiful, easy-to-use and don’t require any training classes. Enterprise software was always the exact opposite. The new world of cloud is taking consumer ease-of-use to the enterprise. Nimbleness is the final big trend – nimbleness for the company and the user. So, in the on-premise world you would have small updates to the software once a quarter and big updates once every three or four years. The big updates, too, required an expensive re-implementation. In the cloud world, those updates happen everyday and users don’t have to do anything, the updates are there when they turn on their computers.

What excites him about the Procurement space? The thing that excites me most about it is the leverage. Let’s say that a white-collar worker buys a piece of software to make him or her more efficient. And let’s say a company has 50 of those employees, each of whom is going to be 20% more efficient. As a result, it is as if you had 10 more people. There is some value there. But in procurement, those 50 employees might buy $5 billion worth of products. If you could be 20% more efficient, you could save the salaries of 10 people. Because each procurement professional is dealing with, potentially, hundreds of millions of dollars in spend, if you can make the procurement person more effective and efficient, the value is not just saving that person’s salary, the value is being more effective on the money the company is spending. Procurement is a unique sector where the leverage is, literally, 10 to 1 or 100 to 1.

The Future

As an investor in Procurify, what excites you about the company?

is migrating to cloud. It is very difficult for the legacy companies to come up with a new cloud version because, typically, the cloud version is better, faster and more expensive. It is a very rare company that will tell its customers that they will move them to a new product and charge them half the price. In every category of enterprise software, new, fastmoving companies are building products that are better, faster and cheaper – Procurify is clearly one of those companies. I think it is very easy to use, intuitive and the people who use it love it. When you look at a product like that and you see how effective it is, that is a company I want to be involved with.

advertise your product and see if you get any feedback. And, based on that, you constantly iterate.

The consumer press follows consumer products because consumers understand it and use it. In contrast, enterprise software companies are selling to companies and the consumer doesn’t see it. In the technology press, on the other hand, it is pretty well split. A huge part of spend is spent by enterprise and not consumers, so it gets press. JP Morgan spends $10 billion on technology and you can bet there are a lot of people who want to know what JP Morgan is thinking. With students – people coming right out of college or grad school – they are interested in the things they know. But as they get older, they start having

idea of what their product should be and what their customers want, they’re probably not going to be right. So, what we teach is that you have a hypothesis about what customers want and you need to collect data to test that hypothesis. We require, for example, that students speak with 100 people during the three months they are in class – customers, partners, suppliers or distributors.
