Esker on Air S6 E13: How Procurement Supports the Modern Office of the CFO
Perched at the intersection of spend, supply and strategy, procurement is so much more than just a tool to keep costs low. It directly influences how money is spent, maintains a robust supplier base and ensures compliance with internal policies and ESG goals.
