“I Didn’t Know You Had to Do All That…”

That’s the most common response when other departments see what procurement teams deal with on a daily basis.

The Hidden Drain of Admin Work

Here’s what admin fatigue looks like:

  • Recreating bid grids from scratch for each RFx

  • Sending 6+ reminder emails to get PR approval done

  • Trying to consolidate 15 supplier quotes in 5 formats

  • Matching contracts to POs to deliveries to invoices

  • Archiving everything manually for audits

  • Repeating this across dozens of tenders every quarter

The Cost Is Higher Than You Think

It’s not just about time; it’s about opportunity cost.

Procurement admin fatigue leads to:

  • Delays in supplier engagement

  • Frustrated internal stakeholders

  • Increased risk of human error

  • Missed savings from slow decision-making

  • Talent loss from overburdened teams
