Zero Procure

Now, more than ever, is the perfect time to ensure the purchasing and spending in your
business is in good health.

Here are five simple steps from Zero Procure, the Procurement Partner of the BSA, to determine
areas of opportunity to improve your buying process, save costs and ultimately make your business
stronger:

1. Conduct an audit of your outgoings, zero in on what you are spending and how you spend it

2. Review your supply chain to ensure it's delivering the best value at the right price

3. Build a transparent supply chain to help mitigate risks

4. Implement a robust stock management system to maintain optimum stock whilst having
contingencies to offload any abundance of stock due to sudden closures

5. Look at how your business can adapt to capitalise on areas of opportunity that have presented
themselves in this ever-changing environment
