1 Define your data strategy

Before you collect, analyze, and report on procurement data, you need to have a clear data strategy that aligns with your business goals and vendor management objectives. Your data strategy should define what data you need, where to get it, how to store it, how to access it, how to validate it, how to protect it, and how to use it. A data strategy can help you avoid data silos, duplication, inconsistency, and inefficiency.

2 Choose the right tools and platforms

To manage procurement data and analytics effectively, you need to have the right tools and platforms that can handle the volume, variety, and velocity of your data. You should look for tools and platforms that can integrate data from different sources, such as ERP, CRM, contract management, and vendor portals. You should also look for tools and platforms that can provide data visualization, dashboards, reports, and alerts that can help you gain insights and make decisions. Additionally, you should look for tools and platforms that can support data governance, security, and compliance.

3 Establish data quality standards and processes

Data quality is crucial for reliable and meaningful analytics. You should establish data quality standards and processes that can ensure that your data is accurate, complete, consistent, timely, and relevant. You should also implement data quality checks and audits that can identify and resolve data issues, such as errors, gaps, outliers, and anomalies. Furthermore, you should assign roles and responsibilities for data quality management and accountability.

In my experience, naming data sets are super important because we can have several meetings about what the data actually is and what it actually means when the naming convention just doesn’t make sense.

5 Collaborate and share data and analytics with vendors

Data and analytics can also help you improve your collaboration and communication with your vendors. You should share relevant data and analytics with your vendors regularly and transparently, such as KPIs, benchmarks, feedback, and recommendations. You should also invite your vendors to share their data and analytics with you, such as innovation proposals, best practices, and market trends. By sharing data and analytics with your vendors, you can build trust, alignment, and partnership.
