They buy toilet paper, cleaning fluids, pens, envelopes that way.
I can assure you they do not (at least not in any company I have worked). They have pre-approved suppliers for all those things that are well integrated into our invoicing system. Adding a new supplier to that list is a major process.
If I need a new one off hard drive I can either either ask IT to order it from the one approved computer component company or I buy it out of pocket and go through the reimbursement process.
- jariel 6y agoYes, of course many things are purchased through contracts. And many things are not. Every company buys stuff from Staples/Costco/Wallmart, one-off parts and supplies. The article mentioned having a 3rd party for the billing, indicating probably some kind of larger purchase, it's odd. Commercial Banking usually provide Amex/Visa linked accounts with limits, for a variety of things, it's not a new idea.
