Better Buying Tools Manufacturer Information Webinar

Make sure manufacturers and suppliers are heard. Join us on April 8 & 9 to learn more about the Better Buying Purchasing Practices Index (BBPI), how participation works, and why collective input drives impact.

Manufacturers and suppliers are asked to adjust every day to changing forecasts, tighter timelines, shifting costs, and new requirements. But there are very few ways to collectively show what those expectations mean in practice.

The Better Buying Purchasing Practices Index (BBPPI) is one of the only tools designed for manufacturers and suppliers to share their experience in a way that is reflected at an industry level.

Participation allows manufacturers and suppliers to:

  • Ensure their perspective is included
  • Contribute to a collective supplier voice
  • Reflect real operational challenges in industry benchmarks
  • Help make sure conversations about purchasing practices are informed by those doing the work

This webinar will walk through how participation works and why manufacturer and supplier input matters not just individually, but collectively.

We invite manufacturers to register today to better understand how contributing to the upcoming BBPPI survey helps ensure manufacturers and suppliers are represented.

Wednesday, April 8
