Objective & purpose of a Maverick Purchasing outsourcing

What is a Maverick purchase?

Maverick purchases: also called wild purchases or spot purchases, Maverick purchases are all low-value and non-recurring purchases that cannot fit into traditional order processes. They consume precious time for your purchasing department because of the administrative management to be devoted to them: sourcing, purchasing requests, validation, supplier creation, ordering, etc.
