The majority of the companies start with indirect materials or services because those tend to be standard items: corrugated paperboard, office and factory supplies, MRO items, janitorial services, lawn care and even temporary labor. These are not directly involved in your core business - i.e. so-called "non-critical products". These are essential to the functioning of ones business, but do not contribute to the bottom line. Quite the contrary: they often demand far too many resources.

This has led to increased realization in organizations for the need to have control on the procurement cycle and the importance of procurement solutions to the organizations core business.
