Avoiding Maverick Buying: Strategies, Processes, and Solutions for Companies

Uncontrolled orders placed outside established procurement processes can quickly lead to unnecessary costs and inefficient workflows. This often results in missing transparency and unclear responsibilities.

Effective strategies to prevent Maverick Buying include targeted management of C-items, optimization of recurring orders, and the implementation of a Spot-Buy solution to manage short-term purchases in a controlled manner.
With a preventive approach, procurement processes can be sustainably optimized, costs kept under control, and overall value creation increased.

These costs arise due to...

  • Unprofessional procurement
  • New creation of the unknown supplier
  • New creation of the order process afterwards
  • Complex invoice processing in accounting
  • Costly subsequent request for corrected invoice documents
  • Time-consuming payment process, should the employee have already paid for the order
  • Control and maintenance of the order and invoice so that they are taken into account in evaluations from the ERP system
  • More time-consuming processing of complaints due to missing documents
