Digital momentum in SA procurement & supply chain

By Kamendran Govender

In 2018, Letsema’s Next-Gen Operations team launched our inaugural survey to understand the adoption of digital in Procurement & Supply Chain.

We found that 22% of South African organisations surveyed are embracing digital, overcoming major barriers of people and skills, leadership alignment, and legacy data and processes to drive value for their organisations.

So how much has changed? Are we seeing progression, stagnation or
regression as a country?

We invite you to collaborate with Letsema to understand, in the South African context:
• The barriers inhibiting supply chain optimisation through digital levers
• The value potential of emerging technologies in procurement and supply chain
• The approaches being taken to digital transformation

We are conducting primary research and would value your input through a 40 minute interview Q&A with one of our trusted advisors. All participants will receive an early preview of the research findings and an opportunity
to network with peers who also contributed.

For further questions or comments, please reach out to devon.katha@letsema.co.za.

The 2018 survey results can be found here.
