Procurement in the construction sector is broken because… ❌It takes forever. Projects get held up in endless approvals, slowing everything down. ❌Teams are overloaded with paperwork instead of focusing on what really matters. ❌Everyone’s working in their own bubble, so you can't see the full picture. ❌Without solid tracking, risky suppliers slip through, which can mess up quality. ❌Costs spiral out of control, and it’s hard to track spending, so surprises blow the budget. ❌Missed deals. With no easy way to spot trends, chances to save money just disappear. ❌Teams keep missing deadlines because of miscommunication and mixed-up priorities. FACT. Join our webinar in 2 weeks' time to learn how to fix it. Link in the comments. #construction #procurement
