CAPS News - April 2019
If you're not already on our newsletter mailing list, sign up now!
You're busy, we're busy, and we all want the kind of information and resources that make us better at our jobs. Lately, CAPS has been focusing on short-form, bite-sized content that is knowledge-rich, and that also won't take a whole lot of time to digest. We're keeping the newsletter short and sweet, adding more to the CAPS blog, keeping most videos under three minutes, and sending out CAPS Stats and member-only emails separately. What information do you count on from CAPS? How can we help you be better at what you do? What do you wish we'd do more of? Hit reply and let us know!
Quick fact: eAuctions
| At our recent CPO Roundtable, we asked attendees to provide insight into their use of eAuctions for procurement. Of the 24 respondents, 37% said they achieved between 6-10% in incremental savings (beyond the initial quote) using eAuctions. The most frequently cited spend areas where eAuctions are used include temp labor, raw/direct materials, and technology equipment/software. |  |
