WHAT IS A PURCHASING AGENT

A purchasing agent is your company's representative in all transactions with the vendors and suppliers who provide necessary business-related goods and services.

Most small businesses, however, do not have the budget to keep a purchasing agent employed on staff. In such cases, an independent purchasing agent can often be the best option.

PROS OF HAVING A PURCHASING AGENT

The decision to hire or contract with a purchasing agent is often a big step for a small business. So before deciding, it's important to consider both the advantages and the disadvantages. The following are some of the pros:

VENDOR RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Purchasing agents act as your representative in any related transactions and ensure that your business continues to consistently and reliably receive the goods and services necessary to meet your profit goals.

DEALS NEGOTIATION AND MONITORING

The deals your purchasing agent makes with vendors impact on your bottom line. Obtaining a reasonable price point is important for a small business, as goods that cost too much will affect the profit you make.

INVENTORY CRISIS MANAGEMENT

A good purchasing agent nurtures the relationship between your company & its vendors. When unexpected events occur, your agent may be able to leverage this relationship to generate the required outcome.

For example, if your company finds itself in urgent need of goods to fulfill an unexpected but valuable contract, a well-connected purchasing agent may be able to obtain expedited delivery from an established vendor, without incurring an unreasonable hike in price.
