Did you know companies lose up to 9% of annual revenue due to poor contract management? That’s not just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call. Imagine the impact that kind of leakage has on your bottom line over time. For many organizations, this revenue loss stems from a mix of missed renewals, untracked obligations, fragmented storage systems, and limited visibility across teams. The root of the problem isn’t necessarily the contracts themselves—it’s how they’re managed. Manual tracking in spreadsheets, forgotten deadlines buried in inboxes, and siloed ownership across departments create an environment where risk and inefficiency thrive. Effective contract management isn’t just about staying organized—it’s a strategic advantage. With the right tools and processes, companies can automate renewals, standardize clauses, improve compliance, and surface insights that directly support better decision-making. If your current system leaves you second-guessing what’s in your agreements or scrambling to locate key terms, it may be time for an upgrade. Contracts should be assets, not liabilities—and when managed right, they can be a powerful lever for growth and control. #ContractManagement #RiskManagement #CLM

This past Friday, ANA Sourcing had the pleasure of participating in Rutgers University’s Intern for a Day (IFAD) program by welcoming two bright students, Adeline Chen and Daniel Liu! They spent the day exploring the world of marketing through job shadowing, team interactions, and open conversations about the industry. We had the opportunity to create market pitches and present them in a creative fashion. We closed the day with a personal branding workshop, where we focused on how to build a compelling resume and professional LinkedIn profile. It’s a privilege to help the next generation of talent gain hands-on experience and develop their career paths. Thank you to Tiffany J. Rice, M.S. and the IFAD program for the opportunity!

The clock is ticking! As we approach the end of the first quarter, now is the time to make the most of your Market Development Funds (MDF). Unused funds don’t roll over—so if you don’t use them, you lose them! Investing in strategic activities now can drive brand awareness, boost lead generation, and strengthen partnerships for the months ahead. Don’t let your hard-earned MDF go to waste! Not sure how to maximize your remaining budget? Consider funding high-impact initiatives like digital marketing campaigns, partner enablement programs, or targeted events that drive measurable results. Whether you're looking to increase engagement, expand your reach, or enhance brand visibility, there are plenty of creative ways to leverage your MDF before the quarter closes. A well-planned investment now can set you up for even greater success in the months ahead. #MDF #MarketingFunds #Q1Deadline #UseItOrLoseIt

Behind every success is a team of incredible people. Thank you for all you do to make our team stronger every day. We appreciate you more than words can say! #EmployeeAppreciation

In today’s volatile market, businesses are learning that a resilient supply chain isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. With disruptions becoming the norm rather than the exception, 55% of companies are ramping up investments in supply chain operations. But what’s driving this shift? Let’s dive into the key reasons. 1. Reducing Risk and Avoiding Disruptions From pandemic-driven shortages to geopolitical tensions, businesses have seen firsthand how fragile supply chains can be. Many are now investing in supplier diversification, nearshoring, and risk management technology to prevent sudden disruptions from halting operations. 2. Leveraging Technology for Efficiency AI-powered procurement, predictive analytics, and IoT-enabled tracking are no longer futuristic ideas—they are essential for optimizing supply chains. Companies investing in automation and data analytics can anticipate demand, reduce waste, and improve decision-making in real time. 3. Meeting Sustainability and Compliance Demands With ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals and new regulatory frameworks on the rise, businesses are under pressure to ensure ethical sourcing, carbon footprint reduction, and transparent supply chains. Investing in sustainability isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building brand trust and long-term profitability. 4. Cutting Costs Through Smarter Procurement A resilient supply chain isn’t just about protection from disruptions—it’s about reducing inefficiencies. Investing in supplier collaboration, strategic sourcing, and digital procurement platforms helps companies lower operational costs while ensuring smoother supply flows. 5. Preparing for the Future of Supply Chain Management The future of procurement is AI-driven, decentralized, and more adaptive than ever. Companies that fail to invest now risk being left behind in an increasingly competitive and unpredictable global market. The bottom line? Companies that invest in supply chain resilience today are setting themselves up for long-term success. What steps is your organization taking to strengthen procurement operations?
