There are a number of hidden costs associated with having too many vendors. For instance, each vendor must be managed accordingly, and each provides separate invoices to be paid. Tracking the deliveries from these suppliers, in addition to being aware of their various conditions of purchase, can often become far too time consuming. With some estimates that every check a company processes for payment can cost up to $50.00 to $75.00, it is easy to understand how having fewer invoices to pay, fewer shipments to track, and fewer suppliers to manage, can indeed lower costs. Companies that reduce their number of vendors, often find more time to focus on their core competencies, and spend more time on adding value to their clients.
