	<title>Too many suppliers can raise procurement costs, Sapphire warns</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/too-many-suppliers-can-raise-procurement-costs-sapphire-warns-969914a</link>

Spreading purchasing volumes too thin can have the opposite impact, reducing purchasing power, increasing operational complexity, and ultimately raising the entire cost of procurement.</description>
