Increase productivity and capabilities

For any IPO, capability to execute process productively is key to effectively sourcing goods and services. Within a small IPO developing and retaining the scope of category expertise and consistently following rigorous processes is a challenge. Procurement Outsourcing with Dragon Sourcing gives you access to a wider category expertise and strong process capabilities.

Flexible global network of operations

A typical risk for internal IPOs is limiting the sourcing to the country where the IPO is based instead of conducting true global sourcing. As countries’ relative competitive advantages shift rapidly this leads directly to reduced competitive advantage. Through Procurement Outsourcing you gain access to a flexible global network of operations that is experienced in conducting regional and global sourcing operations.
