We’ve all heard of the term procurement, but unless your business has internal staff dedicated to procuring goods, you may not know exactly what it means. 

Procurement is defined as:

Dealing with the sourcing activities, negotiation and strategic selection of goods and services that are usually of importance to an organization. Purchasing is the process of how goods and services are ordered.

Large corporates tend to have in-house procurement staff, who deal with the day-to-day business requirements, constantly keeping a tab on supply costs and purchasing practices in the marketplace.
