Are you worried that your organization might be spending too much on
office supplies — or spending it on the wrong items? If you haven't
found a reliable method for procuring office supplies, your concerns
are probably warranted. The cost of office essentials can add up in
a hurry, leaving you to wonder where the money went. Finding
reliable solutions is essential for eliminating wasteful spending
and maximizing profitability.

Higher education
Healthcare and pharmaceutical
Oil and gas
Technology
Retail
Most industries require some level of office supplies during their
day-to-day operations. The Dryden Group has helped companies in these

Procurement Practices

represents approximately 75 percent of the total spend.
The analysis will provide a better understanding of your requirements
for location and capacity. The review also considers relevant factors,
such as maintenance costs and leasing terms. The insight provided by
the assessment will help us develop an effective procurement strategy
that will efficiently use all available resources.
Types of Procurement
Office supplies make your business life easier. Dryden Group helps you
get the products you need with one of our procurement processes:
Direct procurement: These are the office supplies
you need to create a final product for your customers. Our
consultants measure the costs of goods for resale (GFR) to meet your
needs best.
Indirect procurement: These are goods not for
resale (GNFR). They make your business tick, like the office
supplies you need to keep your buildings operating. Our consultants
work with buyers and sellers to find the supplies you need.
Supply chain: This process involves a consultant
carefully examining your entire supply chain. They look for
inefficiencies when you send and receive items and help you make
those areas as effective as possible.
We focus primarily on indirect spend at the Dryden Group. Often, this
process is the most complex and yet completely overlooked. Our team
will engage in several best practices to ensure you get everything you
need at a fair cost.
