An SMB I worked with paid 32% over market for cleaning supplies for 3 years.
Why? They never got a second quote.
One RFQ would've saved them R180k.
Most procurement losses aren't fraud. They're laziness.
The hidden cost of running an SME nobody talks about:
Procurement admin — 10–15 hours every week.
Chasing quotes. Typing POs. Missing contract renewals.
We automated the whole thing with AI.
ProcureAI is free to start, no sign-up needed.

The "send to 3" rule:
Every purchase over $1,000 → 3 quotes minimum.
Why? The first quote is rarely the lowest, and the lowest isn't always the best.
30 minutes of comparison saves 5–20%.
Make it policy. Make it boring. Save the money.
Day 1 of selling procurement templates on Gumroad.
Built: 12 templates + 1 policy doc.
Spent: $0 (all tools I already had).
Listed at: $199 bundle.
Goal: 10 sales by day 30.
Updates here every Friday. Open book.
Maverick spend = anything bought without a PO.
If you're an SMB and you've never measured it, it's probably 30–50% of your spend.
Every percentage point of maverick spend = lost negotiation power.
Track it. Reduce it. Pocket the savings.
The 3-way match in 30 seconds:
1. PO Qty = GRN Qty?
2. PO Price = Invoice Price?
3. Supplier name matches all three?
Yes to all = pay. Anything else = investigate.
One spreadsheet column. Zero overpayments.
Three things SMB founders pay too much for:
1. Cloud subscriptions (no review)
2. Office supplies (one supplier)
3. Insurance (auto-renew unchecked)
Total leak: 8–15% of opex.
Two hours of reviewing each saves more than your last marketing campaign.
