Navigating New Basins: Enhancing Efficiency in Supplier Sourcing

byNicholas Skuba
October 31, 2025

Expanding your operations into a new region or basin is an exciting milestone. It signals growth, opportunity and the potential to tap into new markets. But for supply chain and operations teams, it also brings a familiar headache: finding reliable suppliers.

The Hidden Complexity of Supplier Sourcing

When entering a new basin, supplier sourcing challenges multiply. You’re navigating unfamiliar terrain literally and figuratively. The supplier landscape is different, local regulations vary, and your existing vendor list may not apply. Discovery and qualification of new vendors becomes time-consuming, often relying on fragmented systems like emails, spreadsheets and phone calls. This not only slows down procurement but also increases the risk of cost leakage, miscommunication and inefficiencies.

Operations teams need to move fast, but without a centralized sourcing solution, they’re stuck juggling manual processes. Supply chain managers, meanwhile, struggle to maintain visibility into bidding activity, optimize category pricing and ensure compliance.

The result? Missed opportunities, inflated costs and a procurement process that’s anything but strategic.
