    Supplier Relationship Management with Kodiak Hub - Procurement Says No Ep44

    Procurement Says No is sponsored by the power of Kodiak Hub's darker sense of sourcing humour; so we thought we better get Kodiak Hub's Chief Powerpoint Maker Sam Jenks on the podcast to tell us all about their suite of SRM tools. This time we ask the questions, such as: What was the inspiration behind Kodiak Hub?Is SRM the poor cousin to sourcing?What do customers need to look for in an SRM solutionHow easy is Kodiak Hub to implement on a scale of TikTok to SAP?Does Kodiak Hub need implementation support costing $millions?How many species of bear can Sam name, and what is his favourite bear character?What is Einstein's second theory of relativity?It's rare to get those last two questions in any single podcast. So, everything you need to know about Kodiak Hub's angle on SRM in a carefully crafted podcast of loveliness.
